I have a hard drive installation of this I'm not sure as how to get to the root I'm guessing. I've tried editing that file and it says I can not. I know a couple programs I've tried to open asking for the root password.

When starting up my laptop I get 3 choices linux, linkux 2.6 and linux 2.7 these are guess on numbers but I always choose the last one. Is there actually a way to have it not display this screen and load a kernal. LoL sorry for the questions but I'm new to lnux a little still but I love it an can't wait till I know it
