It is asking for the root password, so it can put you in the maintence mode. If you enter the correct password, and then runAnne, Kaj ...
... typed XFdrake in root directory, got
"program not found"
... Kaj, I don't have a GUI yet, that's my main problem .. rebooted, when I got to sign-in, typed "mcc" then my root password, got
"type root pasword for maintenace"
... one other thing, the other day I got locked up, had to bale out without logoff or exit ... since then, during boot-up, have gotten this (dev/hda5 is my root directory):
dev/hda5 contains a file system with errors, check forced dev/hda5 unattached inode 108633 dev/hda5 unexpected inconsistancy, run fsck manually give root password for maintenance...
... maybe need to start over, re-install Mandrake ???
HK
"fsck -a /dev/hda5" to fix the problem. (I normaly don't advice using -a, but in this case, it is probably the best option.)
Once you have that fixed, you can reboot, log in as root, and run XFdrake to configure X.
