So now that I'm the supreme cheerleader for our little techie
neighborhood, I am required by law to display my ineptness with said
technologies. Here's my quandry:
What does the lilo prompt look like? (The real kicker in this mess I'm
about to describe is that I'm running Fedora Core 1 (w/ KDE and Gnome),
and I'm a complete newbie to Linux.)
The reason I ask is because I need to know where to type 'Linux single',
followed by 'passwd root', which apparantly is the means to my idiot
salvation -- I've locked myself out of root on my own machine. I wrote
down the password in my own human-hashed form, only to discover that what
I think the password should be doesn't match what I actually typed in.
Given the variables in the string, there are about 300 different
possibilities for it.
Any and all assistance is, as ever, greatly appreciated!
