Description Jiri Zemek 2006-12-09 12:35:01 UTC
I have trouble with installing Gentoo on my computer. First think which is wrong in handbook is that I cannot login to Gentoo as user root because I do not know what is the password for user root and nowhere in handbook a can find information haw to do it. Instead of this ability I see only stupid screen on my computer which informs me about that user gentoo will be loged in after 30 sec. I am using Live CD 2006.1 for booting gentoo. Please help!!! Thank you.

Yours

There is no root password. You can hit enter, or better yet, just let it log you in, as it says it will.

If you need installation help, please ask on IRC at channel #gentoo, or ask on the Gentoo Forums:
