Try typing "su". that should log you in as root. Thats one thing.
The other is If its not going automatically through to the x window login
screen then perhaps something is wrong with your xconfig and/or you need to
set the runtype default to 5. I have 5 as default and go in with 1 if I
need to edit a configuration in the shell to fix any setup problems. On
boot up, rather than letting it auto boot into linux, just type "linux 1" to
get to that prompt , type "su" to get in as root operator, then edit any
settings like xconfig and reboot.
(Linux 5 I think is the standard default.)

Subject: RE: [newbie] Login Woes. :(
I realise that Linux is case sensitive and I haven't forgot the password or
typed it in wrong. I don't even get that far.
The login screen let's me type usernames.
But when I type in root it doesn't accept it.
When I type in anything it doesn't accept it.
:(
Are these the only partitions you have to create for a successful install or
do I need more:
/
Swap Disk
