[ILUG] Bemused by Ubuntu install

[Patrick Stack]

Hi all,

I've been having a hell of a time trying to install FC4 on a Fujitsu AMD
Athlon. It didn't install properly as it wouldn't read /dev/hda3 (/home)
saying it couldn't find the LABEL='home' or some such on boot up.
A look at the partition table showed that there were 13983 unallocated
sectors. 
In any case, as I was pressed for time, I decided to try Ubuntu instead
and installed v.5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog?) without a problem. That is until
I tried suing from the command line - I suddenly realised that the
install never asked me for an admin password so I have no idea what it
is. Is this weird of just an Ubuntu thing?
