Hi Brian
Totally appreciate the feedback. If you can be patient I will follow
all your instructions but as you already know, I'm new to Linux.
I logged in as 'root' but the system did not take my password (for
root). I know the passsword is correct. I (obviously) wrote it down
and had to enter it two times during the initial install.
I googled, "debian squeeze, how to log in as root' and found this site that
is suggesting 'How to enable gnome root login on Debian 6 (Squeeze)'.
http://www.pathin.org/tutorials/debian-6-howto-enable-gnome-root-login-on-debian-6-squeeze/
The link starts off by suggesting I log in as user and then enter the
following initial command.
1 | su root
2 | gedit
I went to Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal (I assume this is
how to open a terminal) and was presented with terminal window that
said:
myname@systemname:~$ (blinking cursor)
Is this where I'm suppose to be at?
Thank you
