pcfixer rather than reinventing the wheel maybe you should take a look at this thread:
http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=31018.0The RPMs built by mrjhb3 should allow you to install both Kronolith & Mnemo without resorting to editing config files. This is probably as safer option as you are new to Linux
I suggest you look through the mentioned thread before installing the RPMs.
login at the console using "root" as the user and the admin password you setup during your install. Be very careful when using root as you can easily kill you server and any data stored on it.
