    I just got the acer one and am trying to install some open source software. It comes with a make file, but I can't find the make command.. Does linpus lite have a make command? Where is it?

    Also, what is the default password for the root user?

    Thanks

    To compile / build programs, you need the gscc and make packages installed.

    The root password isn't set.

    Thanks! Can you tell me where to get those packages?

    And the root password on mine is set! Is there a way to reset it without having to do a complete re-install?

    They are in the repositories: either use the add/remove software program, or use the terminal:

    Code:
    sudo yum install gcc make

    Just wanted to say thanks again. This is great forum and I'm completely in love with this computer now. It's a wonderfully portable little linux system. Command lines make me happy, gcc makes me happy :)
