    installed 3.4 no root!!

    Greetings,
    I've installed Knoppix 3.4 on my Hdisk,but I've encountered few problems.
    During installation I added the normal user emanuele but after reboot no emanuele user exists,instead I've got the usual knoppix user, and then, when I switch to root no pasword is requested,so often my apt-get update and others root administraion tools don't run regolarly.
    Even no prompt login is offered when I get init 5, I mean grafic level.
    any idea for solving the problems or maybe I did something wrong??

    Thanks for your time and for enjoing a community like yours.

    As said in another forum post, it sounds like you did a Knoppix-style install (where it runs off hard disk a lot like it does off the CD -- "knoppix" user; no root password required when you type "su"). You should probably reinstall it, doing a Debian-style install instead.
