Hi Everyone


I'm having difficulty trying to login as root with my current Mandrake 7.0 
installation. I recently purchased a magazine which had Mandrake 7.0 on it's 
cover CD and I follwed instructions to install it on my free hard drive. 
DrakX constantly stalled during the installation setup so I used the text 
install instead with txt_boot.img.

Having gone through the setup I was ready to login as root but Linux kept on 
telling me that the password was invalid. This is not true as I typed in the 
password correctly over and over again. I re-installed Mandrake 7.0 4 or 5 
more times and it still continued giving me the error message of invalid 
root password.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems with Mandrake 7.0? Why is it 
not accepting correct root passwords? It accepts user passwords but not the 
root one. Is there a bug in Mandrake 7.0? Please can someone help me? 
Thanks.


Regards,

John
