General Support - What is the root password for liveCD? arjay - 03.10.2006, 17:00 Uhr Titel: What is the root password for liveCD?
Sorry if this is in the forum somewhere. I have searched but can't find anything relevant. I am trying out the live CD for 2006-1-rc3 and want to make some changes that require admin privileges. Presumably there is a default PW for the live CD?
BTW - so far am quite impressed with kanotix and that comes from somone who is also using Mepis which IMO has got to be one of the best all round distros today.
I want to try kanotix on a spare machine because there is better support for Enlightenment (E17). But I am not going to install to HD until I have really tested the live cd - hence the request for root PW.

I think there is none. Just
Code:
su -
in the shell is enough, iirc.

There's a lot of info in the html pages that open at boot from the LiveCD.
How to root is explained there, also.

Just a few hours ago I had RC4 running as live system, and you are right, some configurations need a password, and setting it this way is the way how it works.

Thanks to everyone who replied. Now I can get one and really give kanotix a go. Looking forward to it.
