So I installed Knoppix 4.02 DVD to the hard disk. It boots and runs off the hard disk fine.
My standard user account during the install, I called mine "mike".
So I login as "mike" and I cannot do anything.
Every 2 seconds it asks for my root password.
This is a new system of course, and I need to customize this system.
So I add "mike" to the /etc/sudoers file using visudo....
mike ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
save the file
I visually verfiy /etc/sudoers has mike added....
exit, loggoff and reboot the computer
Log back in as mike, and every 2 seconds, it asks me for the root passwd.
Basically, just trying to add my ethernet to the networking and get that going, but
everytime I do add the network interface, it just hangs.....and never returns...
Is there anyway I can login to the GUI as root??
I dont care about f****** security at this point.
I just need this to work. Security is usless if it does not work.
Worry about security later when its working.
