Hey Everyone,
I just installed Ubuntu 8.10, the newest one, on my computer. I elected to install inside Windows and all went well, no error messages or stalls or anything out of the ordinary. So, the install completed and I got the boot up screen to select Windows or Ubuntu as is expected. But in the end, I got this screen to enter a login name and password. I was never prompted for this information as the install was totally automatic. So what gives? Anyone know a default login name and password?

Hey,
I can give everyone that is even wondering, a break from it because I just realized that I entered this information on the very first screen within Windows, so my problem is non existent. I have a login name and password so ok thanks anyway.
