I c= an=C2=B4t even change the pw. Nothing on this build anyway. But went to rebu= ild (6.2) and got caught in a loop in these steps: -- Select Drive -- FDISK Partition Editor ("Q") -- Install Boot Manager I would prefer to rebuild because I want to add X Windows and I=C2=B4d rathe= r not have to rebuild the kernel. How can I wipe the drive? If I cannot rebu= ild, can I just add the ports? What about changing pw?
