Hi!
I use Cygwin/XFree86 on Windows 2000. (256 Mb RAM, Intel Celeron)
I hope someone could help me with this problem I have.
I want to start 'xdm'
Jonas Bolldén@ARCHANGEL
$ xdm
Only root wants to run xdm
is the response, so I try
Jonas Bolldén@ARCHANGEL
$ login root
Password:
I have never defined any password for 'root' so I can't login.
Why?
I have tried:
Administrator@ARCHANGEL
$ login administrator
Password: **********
Administrator@ARCHANGEL /
$ xdm
Only root wants to run xdm
So, is there at default password for 'root', or is there another way to do
this?
With regards
/Jonas
