Pascal i could claim various reason for inversion, but i will just say that some times thinking gets ahead of typing and above results when i fail to go back over messages before sending. as much as i hate to see and hear people calling 'su' 'superuser', and then i go and write it out wrong. i guess it just proves that some cloning is good, some is bad. ;) oh, well. at least i told him to 'man su'. thank you for correcting my error. tc,hago. g . -- think green... save a tree, save a life, save time, save bandwidth, save storage. send email, text/plain - disable pgp/gpg/geek code =+= if you are proud to be an american, then buy made in america.

Re: [newbie] Small question about command line
Actually, better to use: su - user Without the minus sign, you just change your UID / GID. With the minus sign, it's just like logging in as that user, running their login scripts, initiating their user environment variables, etc, which is probably what you want when testing a user config.

Windows wont see it because my linux partitions come before it. I could fix the problem but not without completly reformating and repatritinh 3 for my drives. scratch that network one. I just set it up and found it only has 2mi ram. It can take up to for if I add some 30 pin sims (whiich I have in the loft :)) but thats still barely enough to run loaf. And the hard drive controler is non-existant. Now that I thyink about it I have one more. I have just gotten my ncrishtmas money and it is going towards a new network card. Is there anything I should know before I plugin this card (isa, bnc) in here. Another will go in an old 386 8mi ram which will be used as a fileserver and for some work im doing with distributed computing. th4e server will be running linux and will be running only on remote admin via telnet and ftp soon as Im done with some surgury on the keyboard controler. -- == Goldenpi - linux user, unreal editor, programer in 3 languages and all round geek.
