I donot have an option to login as root in the login box I get. How to login as root in the first place is there something I can do when the system is getting booted, like selecting other boot options.. Thanks for the help. OL

Hello, I am unable to login to the system after it boots. When I installed Community 10.0 Mandrake I prefered not to go for autologin. Will this be the problem..:confused: My problems are: While booting... 1) Mounting local sysytems: mount: mountpoint swap does not exist [failed] but actually I have swap and it is working fine before on 9.2 it booted slowly[2 minutes approx] Then the login window appears, when I click on a user and enter password, I am getting warning "no write access to $home directory" "kde is unable to start" Then it is giving an option to try to login with other username. But I created only one user while setup, and there is no option to login as root in the login box I am getting. I tried to change the chice to Gnome and even it is giving the same error. At this point I am getting option to halt... I say yes system is shut down. Any clue... please.. I am a linux newbie can't do much without help Thanks, OL.
