    Password?

    I want to customise Knoppix to use as a portable OS (change keyboard settings and screen resolution, and have all the apps I normally use set up and ready to go). I looked at the customisation FAQ and found this

    Setting up for Remastering

    1. Boot from the Knoppix CD
    2. Open a root shell:
    * Menu: Kmenu->Knoppix->Root Shell
    * Note: All commands below are run from this root shell.
    3. Configure your Internet connection (we'll need this later). If you use DHCP, it should already be configured.
    * Note: Run ifconfig to check.
    4. Find the partition you will use to work on. In this example it is called hda1 . The partition should have a minimum of 3 GB free space
    5. Mount the partition:
    What password?

    before all that open a normal console and type
    Code:
    sudo su
    then
    Code:
    passwd root
    give password, when you type nothing will show up on he screen (no ****). hit enter
    and same password again (to prevent a typo) hit enter.
    now you have given a root password.
    close the konsole down or continue from here.
