After i entered a user password and ID i notice that the access to the root is denied. What can i do to remove the ID/ password security (temporarily) without having to reinstall a complete bsd ? As i wanted to install Linux or a compatible (convenient) graffic interface i did the following : $ls /compat linux $linux Linux driver already loaded /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig: can't create /etc/ld.so.cache~ (Permission denied) $ Could you explain me what i have to do ? To finish with : once bsd was fully installed and bootable i couldn't use the cdrom anymore to load the additional packages from cd 3 and cd 4. the instruction # /stand/sysinstall is not accessible any more. Again, thanks if you can help me ; i still can't find the anwers on my own. Sincerely yours, Fjdl. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
