Thanks Richard, and Verner too. I had to use lppasswd to create a root user! Imagine that!

Unfortunately, it's these kinds of things that are keeping Linux from gaining dominance. In order just to get your out-of-the-box distro to perform the most basic of functions correctly, you have to subscribe to mailing lists, news groups, and scour the internet and spend huge amounts of time configuring things that should have been done in the first place, But at least this one was an easy fix.

Would have been even easier, had you read the instructions during install. The information you so desperately gleaned from the news groups and mailing lists was right there in front of you.

Guess your "ranting" is totally uncalled for.

have a good day. No apology necessary or expected.

Yes, well, fortunatley there are acutally people on this list interested in helping people rather than spitting acid. The fact is that I *did* read the instructions and didn't find what I was looking for. So since you had nothing to contribute to this thread, please don't. I hope the next time you need help, that there are people as nice as you to shoot some flames your way. Me, I'll be busy contributing positively to people that deserve it. And, btw, I am having a good day, thanks muchly.

Roger, a lot of us have learned to use our mail filter and simply send those emails straight to the trash, then empty the trash without looking into it. . Sure does cut down the bp here.

Someone pointed out to me that the worst thing you can do to some people is ignore them, I hope it works cause that;s what I do. Glad we could help. Richard

I know, and I'm sorry. I thought better of it after I posted. I usually just ignore those. But I just finally got so sick of people who have nothing better to do than flame others that I just had to say something. You're right- it won't make any difference.
