I know some poeple here have some experience with linux, im wondering if anyone can suggest what happened here-I was installing SuSe linux on an old laptop, this was my first time installign linux. I bought a linux in a box type install for the tech support, etc.
Here's the problem: Everything installed fine but it never asked me to set up a root password or username, but now it wants one to boot. What do I do? Is there a default password or some sort of exploit I can use to get around this and get in? Also, can anyone figure out why it is giving me a shell interface instead of a graphical one? Even if you can't help, a link to a helpful site would be greatly appreciated.
