Question Answered By: Adah Miller   on Dec 17

I will just have to be patient. Now I know how all of the PCLOS users feel. They
have been making a big noise about delays in the new release. Patience is a
virtue and clearly I need to develop it. I won't waste time though trying to
install them until I read favourable reports.

BTW, does anybody know why a couple of distros give me a root password error? It
is the same password I have used for years. You must enter it twice and there is
no mistake in my entry. I have installed these distros at least twice on two
different computers with the same result. Both have separate root and user
password, both are based on Debian. The user password works fine, but I can't
change the system without root access. My root password is fairly normal except
it has a $ in it. I wondered if somehow it installed a wrong keyboard after
re-booting which might make another character type in its place such as a pound
(as in British sterling) sign. I live in Canada and use British language
settings but the U.S. keyboard. The password given would not match in this case
because the change was made after installation. Any thoughts?
