I have just installed Mandrake 6.1(Helios) on a standalone machine (custom installation). (It came on a magazine disk.) When I get to the login prompt at localhost, it will not accept root or username and acts as if I did not type anything. I don't even get an error messsage. What is the problem here? Have I overlooked something? Should I just choose the "workstation" option? Any ideas welcome. John Bonner.
