Or do I install it incorrectly?? There is no default username/password, you should have been prompted to create one on install. I don't know if you installed incorrectly as you don't mention what process you used to install. Peter ___ SoaS mailing list SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas

I am a nubie at this... Basically I am trying to make a live CD.iso that Boots to a desktop which has a folder spin-kickstarts on it and a text file ReadMeFirst containing instructions and links on how to make a Remix.

I know we did this for the last POSSE Remix; both Sebastian and Peter had the .ks file for that at some point, so the syntax for it should be somewhere in there if the .ks file is floating about (I can't find it right now).
