Try typing the password into the shell normally, without the passwd
command. What does it show up as? Are keys getting mismatched or
something?
I don't know about that, but in order to get out of the passwd loop I
just entered enter a number of times. It then said password changed. I
pulled the USB stick out and rebooted. I can log in as root with no
password -- well, with <enter> as the password.
I'll try running the after install stuff and see what happens next.
I created my user, rsteff. I successfully created a password for rsteff.
I ran all the post install stuff at
http://docs.slackware.com/slackware:slackpkg:
slackpkg update
slackpkg install-new
slackpkg upgrade-all
slackpkg clean-system
Nobody complained.
I rebooted, logged in as rsteff, ran su - which accepted <Enter> as the
password. I ran passwd and put in what I want for a root password. This
time it succeeded. I exited su - and ran it again, and got in with the
desired password.
So, now I'm ready to start adding packages, which I will do tomorrow.
