This is going to be embarrassing for me smile I need to stop you at the first instruction. I think I understood it, but I'm having trouble. Does "shell" also mean "terminal?" I've been able to use that okay from time to time, but I looked up how to "become root," and I've typed "su -" and it asks me for a password. I typed the only password I've used on this machine (it's a brand new install), and it says authentication failure. Is there a standard password or something?

Thanks for the help, by the way.

*edit*

Nevermind, I figured out how to change the root password. I always ask a few research attempts too early smile
