Title: Access to command line
Post by: paul on January 13, 2003, 02:22:19 PM

Hi all

Am a complete newbie to SME and Linux in general, have an SME server up and running which works well except I cannot install any of the rpm's being mentioned on the forum as I can't seem to gain access to any kind of command line prompt.

What have I missed??

Paul

Typing 'Alt-F2' will give you a login prompt. You can log in with username 'root' and your admin password. When you're finished doing your command line thing, type either 'exit' or 'logout' and hit 'Alt-F1' to go back to the admin console. SME has one more 'virtual console' located under the 'Alt-F3' key, in case you need to work in more than two consoles.
