I'm carrying this discussion over from Servers:General Discussion. I just booted off of KNOPPIX, and then right away I downloaded the RPM for 1.10.8. I ran it in a program called K-something (i'm on Windows right now), and I clicked 'INSTALL', but then it told me something like: "ROOT password:". So I typed the general things like 'admin', 'test', 'knoppix', but I couldn't get it to validate! Does anyone know what the default password is for the Knoppix RPM manager or how to get around the password?
I am in a crunch because I have/will host a server for sid6.7's map contest tommorow afternoon. (Monday the 20th).
p.s. Anyone in the contest- don't worry, i'll get it done. This is how I get to learn new things and explore new areas.
RPM on Linux
I think it uses sudo with no root password set.
Open a terminal window, there should be an icon for terminals on the taskbar
type sudo passwd and it will prompt you for a new root password , enter anything you like, two times, and then try installing your program again.
You might try #knoppix on freenode if this dosent work.
