Boot Suse 11.1 Live CD in text mode - need login & password

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hi All,

Hope this is an easy question.
I have installed 11.1 live CD using TEXT install option - as I have an ancient machine and it does not seem to like these new fangled graphics.

I get to the login screen

localhost login:

And I have no idea what the [root] or account login is.

I have tried

linux/linux
root/linux
root/[enter]
[enter]/[enter]
guest/[enter]
suse/[enter]
suse/linux

nothing works.
I have had a trawl about and been unable to find what I thought would be an obvious and common issue - with an answer.

Anyone know what the SuSe 11.1 LIVE CD default [root] login / password is…?!

to login type:
root

hit enter

that’s it

If you need to get a graphical display you may need to switch to vesa by entering this:
sax2 -r -m 0=vesa
(that’s a zero not a letter)

then type:
startx

Hi,

As I wrote in my original mail,

I tried the ID ‘root’ and just pressing enter and it would not accept this…?

I agree with caf4926. There is something wrong with your install.
