Hey, congratulations :) > One thing I can think of is that while installing, it did ask me where I wanted the root ( or similar question). And i just clicked "something" because I dont know anything of linux. That's interesting, I don't remember seeing that. Did you used the normal installer, or the "alternate" one? Did you run in expert mode? (The normal installer is the one that runs from the live cd, the alternate is a different cd, and doesn't give you a desktop before installing) > > I think that while we do the update the synaptic overwrites the user > setting.

However, it instead says just /root/ on the main settings window itself. I am trying to look where this difference comes from, as that may be the key here.
