BDI and passwords

There seems to be just a bit of confusion about getting into the BDI after
an install. During the install, you are asked for a root password and a
user name and password. When the install has completed and your PC
rebooted, you will see a KDE login screen. Unlike MS Windows (tm) you can
not avoid login by leaving password questions blank.

If you do not enter a password for root during install by just hitting
<enter> <enter> and you supply no user name or password, you can log in by
typing

root <enter> <enter>

at the KDE login screen. This approach will easily let you log into Linux.
The downside is that the system is not very secure without a root password.

If during the install when you are asked for a root password, you enter
"mypasswd" and repeat "mypasswd" then you should log in to the KDE login
screen using

"root <enter> mypasswd<enter>"

If you still have problems let me know.

BTW - For newbies, the BDI is a disk full of Linux, Real-Time linux, and
the NIST (National Insitiute of Standards and Technology) EMC (Enhanced
Machine Controller) software. You can read more about it at www.linuxcnc.org.
