Hi everybody!

I've just HD installed dsl-3.1RC3 on a 486DX4, 16MB RAM, 850 MB HDD (yeah, the only distro that can do this :p ). Everything went smooth, I rebooted, left it unattended (you can imagine how long it may take to boot) and I was infront a screen asking me to LOGIN...
Could you please tell me what the default login/ passwords are as I have not provided any during installation.

Thanks a mil!

The default admin account is 'root'
The default user account is 'dsl'

There are no passwords.

Hi again!

That's waht happened: I booted the PC with the installed DSL on HDD and it came up to Login moment. When I enter DSL / dsl or root it asks for a passoword and a blank password is not accepted. I tried using dsl-dsl as login-password, root-root, but it doesn't work.

So I reinstalled :D

I kept an eye on the installation process and there was a specific moment that bothers be. When it was almost comleted  I saw a few lines saying something like "root password was successfully changed" and I'm pretty sure I wasn't asked for that.

Can anyone shed some light on a possible resolution, please? Would it be a good idea to Live cd boot and delete /etc/shadow?

P.S. Does DSL support serial mouse?

Thanks!

Hm, no idea... I've only really done frugal installations.  Perhaps you have to change your passwords on the live session before you install?  I guess you are using the oldstyle hd-install scripts from the menu?

Don't think deleting that file will help you if blank passwords aren't accepted - you could copy a new /etc/shadow over though.  You could also just disable the login.

And serial mice are supported.
