The problem I now have pertains to logining in. I currently get an error message as follows(this is't exact except for the mountd[76]): login: time and data stamp, mountd[76]: Cann't mountdbtab then I get another login prompt. Is there an error on my system? Is something trying to mount that is needed to login? Who should I login as? Is there a superuser and login password that I should be using to initially login? What is it? How do I create users if I cannot get initially logged in? Once logged in, how would I create users? Do I need to start the install process again from the floopy,there was an item to create users? I know these are probably very basic questions, please forgive me. I'm a student and right now trying to use this as a learning experience and who know what else in the future. How can I FTP a set of files instead of doing one at a time? I could then get the handbook and all the FAQ's. Thanks again for all who responed, I hope I can get the OS running this weekend, create users, get the ppp running and to be able to dial into the system and connect to a ppp line. I also eventually would like to setup a web server, ftp, telnet etc... This system seem to have unlimited potential. Thanks Ross
