I have trouble with Mandriva One Live CD I have downloaded.
At boot end it asks for user id and pwd.
I do'nt know what put in.
I have tried with some words, but none works.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

Try the user ID: guest with no password.

Thank you for good suggestion.
But with guest for user id it tells me:
Mandriva Linux release 2006.0(Official) for i586
Kernel 2.6.12-19mdk-i586-up-1GB on an i686 /tty1
local host login: guest
loale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: no such file or directory
loale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: no such file or directory
loale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: no such file or directory
[guest@localhost~]$_
And wait for input.
What can I do?
Many thanks again.

Okay, I'm confused, here.

Are you saying that you put your CD into your CD drive, boot up the PC, and you get a blank (black) screen asking for a log-in ID?

If that is the case, then I think there's something wrong with the CD or the ISO you downloaded.

What supposed to happen when you boot up Mandrake One is be presented with a KDE 3.4 desktop environment. Logging in with a user ID is not something you have to do.

Make sure your ISO downloaded correctly and/or try buring another CD.

Get the Mandriva One ISO here.

Those error messages make me think the live CD is having problems with your hardware, so it can't bring up X and is dumping you to a runlevel 3 login.

What type of machine are you using? Hardware details, especially processor and video card, may help.

I'm not familiar with this CD, but you may need to boot with special options.

Check the MD5 of the ISO since it might had some issues.

The problem was solved downloading again iso and checking md5 and hash. Many thanks.

Cool!
