<laughing> Well Miark, if it s that important, I'm in Bainbridge GA.
I want to apologize to all offended. I didn't intend imply that people were too tired or occupied to reply to questions. And I'm really not some kind of asshole. Although looking back ( hindsight - always 20/20 ), my post does seem to indicate so. I just didn't understand why chit-chat received so much more attention than ( at least my ) tech-related questions. Now I have a better understanding. With that said, on to current problems........ I recently, against my better judgement and on advice given from someone on this list, performed an OS upgrade to fix a boot problem caused by altering my partition table. The problem is now fixed. I can boot without the boot disk now. BUT, this caused more problems: 1- I cannot "su". error reads: "su: cannot set groups: Operation not permitted" 2- I cannot mount or umount as user. ( I could before ) 3- I cannot run a program as root. error reads: GET THIS "Incorrect password! Please try again." 4- I cannot log in as root on CLI, only in GUI - this makes ABSOLUTLY NO sense to me whatsoever I have no idea how to fix any of these. Any help would be most appreciated.
