        On unix/linux the most important account, which is ALWAYS present, is
'root', use that as a login name. However the FIRST thing you should do is
create a "normal" user account and use root only when needed (look up the
command 'su'). Root is the 'superuser' and can do ANYTHING on the system.

        The third disk is used only for certain options, obviously the options you
choose didn't need it, that's not that surprising I admit. FWIW when I
install Redhat7.3 I usually only end up needing about 10MB from the third
disk. TTYL
