From gnome Thu Dec 05 17:26:14 2002 From: Manuel Amador Date: Thu, 05 Dec 2002 17:26:14 +0000 To: gnome Subject: Re: Root username X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=gnome&m=103910917232345 The installation said it clearly. Root password. Although perhaps it should have said "root's password" and an explanation of what root is. Or said "Administrator password" and explained that the administrator's username is always "root".
