I am using OPEN SUSE 11.1 Live CD.
It has a log in screen. It seems to use linux as the user name.
For the password I've tried linux, demo, self, a blank, root
and it either says login failed or cycles thru and presents me
with the same login screen.
I tried looking at it in windows and couldn't find any readme files
explaining any thing about it.
The Simply Mepis live CD ran in windows and told me exactly what
to do and I successfully ran it. The Mepis disk even let me look at
the hidden partition and had a copy option for it.
One of the reasons I would like to run the live cd first is to see if
built in wifi works on SUSE 11.1. The T43 has an Intel Pro 2915 ABG
builtin card.
