I've put 500mo for the swap because I only have 64mo ram on the other machine.


OK here is my first problem
I'm sure it's so dumb but anyway... the setup ran fine, when I booted, it took me into GRUB. Then it went into Red Hat, but at the login screen.... i'm stuck. yeah so dumb. I never saw a login name anywhere. for the password I've been asked in the installation, but nothing for the login name. if it was asked and I really don't remember, I'll just re-install

And a friend of mine told me (for LILO), to delete it completly from the system, you need to do something like fdisk /mbr. is it the right way to replace the master boot record to, for exemple, put windows after deleting linux (just to know!) and is it the same for grub?

thanks
