    question on kde

    Alright I have the newest version the 03-26-03 release. I boot it up and try to install a program it asks for a password. I have tryed root, secret, default and others. I tryed to go to tty1 ctrl+alt+1 and type passwd and change it but then i can't get back to tty5 the graphical userinterface. Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong. I am pretty damn new to linux so feel free to give some comments.

    paswords are locked out of knoppix since it runs from cd, you can use:
    sudo application
    to run root applications etc.

    You want to install software, are you running from cd or a hd install?

    the easiest way to be able to run console apps as root is use:
    sudo su

    sudo passwd root
    will assign a password for root if you need to run an X-app that requires a root passwd.

    No, you can't / shouldn't write to NTFS from knoppix. Unless you don't care if all your data on the NTFS partition is wiped. ( Linux doesn't have safe ntfs write support )

    Fat32 is ok. Some programs can be run from your home directory on linux, but the best way is to install knoppix, and use apt-get.
