Re: creat new user

1. if you didn't create a root password (using the 0.7.2 install cd) Shame on you! (as root - "passwd")
2. If you used the 0.8 (beta) install cd you had that option, so you tell me - what is your root password?

Please, study the wiki. (esp. the beginners guide).
btw, with "su" you become root, so... it's the root password you're looking for.

Re: creat new user

why in 0.8 it's not imperative ?

Re: creat new user

One of the great things about linux (and one of the biggest benefits vs windows for most users) is its user management and security. If you don't set a root password you miss out on these benefits and leave your system wide open. Probably more importantly, never use root unless you have to, especially if you don't know what you are doing, as it enables you to make changes across the system and possibly break it!

As the others said, read the wiki. It will tell you all this stuff.

Yep - if you prefer to use sudo you can install it using pacman.

Re: creat new user

when using sudo as a normal user, you put in the normal user's password, not root's password.

Re: creat new user

sudo = super user(root) do

so why puting  user's password and not root's password?

The goal is to give limited users SU access for a limited set of functionality. So, it's important to be able to do this without giving up the root password in the process. You should search the wiki for sudo and see if an example /etc/sudoers file shows up.

Re: creat new user

Mount read-only or read-write? What an error? Does /mnt/c exist?

Re: creat new user

Well here we go, a quick guide:

# get ntfs module
pacman -S ntfs-3g                                     

# load the module
modprobe fuse                                         

# /etc/fstab entry
/dev/sda1   /mnt/c   ntfs-3g   defaults   0 1 

Hope that helps,

cheers,
deTTo

edit: ok, just thought about givin the wiki a try, here we go (if it worked) http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NTFS_Write_Support

Re: creat new user

I've been using ntfs-3g for 8 month or so and never a problems yet.  IIRC there was some worry over some of the earlier alpha/beta versions but all bugs seem to have been worked out.
