Hi All,
I am a newbie to slackware linux, and somewhat a not-that-much user of REDHAT 9. I have just installed Slackware 10.1, the installation was so smooth. I was able to dual boot with WinXP.
After i restarted the system, the bootloader (LILO) menu showed both OS's. When i selected Linux and it booted up, i tried to login with the root username, the password was correct but everytime i try to do so the system takes me back to the LOGIN prompt. Again i tried but the result is the same.
I see some random quote, and then the "homepc login: " message. (homepc being my hostname).
Could u plz suggest a solution to this problem? I would be grateful.
