Ok, I installed it on my system that had KUbuntu 8.10 on it, it asked if I wanted to keep the settings and files of KUbuntu and I chose Yes.
When it asked for a root password after first boot after install, I tried elive, eliveuser, even the password of my user I used in KUbuntu, but nothing works.
I was never asked to set a root password in KUbuntu, so I can't use that. I guess when I did the install I should have said no to use files and settings of KUbuntu.
Would a clean re-install make a difference so that maybe there would be a root password that works?
Another thing is I have a SBLive sound card that has always worked with other Linux distros, SUSE, Slackware, etc. But for some reason I get no sound and apparently it didn't find it or something. When I boot in my Freedos partition and use loadlin @boots to load up my Amithlon system (Amiga emulator), I get sound through the SBLive. So I know the card is working. I would figure that SBLive was a popular sound card so I thought it would have been found and used.
