Hi, Sorry for the constant barrage of stupid questions, but I'm finally starting to get into this stuff although I am still a total newbie :) Thanks for the support so far! It really helps! When I use whereis to find a file this always happens: /#whereis foo Warning: couldn't stat file /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00502/man! foo: This happens as root or as a user, what does it mean? And if I am in a user account and I try to "su" or "su root" this happens: /home/btrzynadlowski%su su: you are not in the correct group to su root What is the "correct group" then? And it always says I have new mail. When I go into mail I find 17 messages from various dates and times and they're subject and bodies are the same. Here is the subject: Nvi saved file .cshrc The system places all of these in my mailbox, but why? And last but not least... how come I can mount my cd9660 cdrom in 4 ways: mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0a /cdrom mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0a /cdrom mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom Why are wcd0a, wcd0c, acd0a, and acd0c all the same? Thanks a lot! Bart Trzynadlowski To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
