Mandriva 2010.2 InstantOn

[jlct021]

Hi Im new to Linux and have just installed InstantOn along side WinXP.

Ive downloaded and am trying to install Teamviewer for Linux. When I run the setup file I get the following message:

You are attempting to run a command which requires administrative privileges, but more information is needed in order to do so. Authenticating as "root."

And then asks for a password.

What must I do to get round this?

I haven't created any passwords.

Thanks, but the InstantOn version does not have that option during setup.
