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.

thank you very much i will look into that aptget not to sure what it is or how to use it but haha like i said i am new it shouldn't take me to long to figure shit out. if you know any good sites with tutorials on how to mess with kinoppix or linux in general it would be much appreciated.
