Hi,
I am what you would call a ‘UNIX Novice’ however, I am very good with DOS, win95, & Mac OS’s
I have just spent the week, getting FreBSD to install and run, on a spare system I have (DX2 4megs, mono vid) 
Anyhow, I finally got it to boot, but now am lost as to how it works, I have figured out how to navigate, etc… 
but the structure make no sense to me… i.e. that I gather, the OS has several "layers" of users… It would be 
helpful for me, in learning the new system, if I could make one user, that could access the whole system. Can 
you tell me how I can do this?

Also, is there a "help for DOS guru’s manual" or some such thing? I have read the DOS users FAQ, but it’s not 
helping much
