I logged in as root. Root is the only account on my boxes. I would use say Xterm to edit a file. I would 'Permission denied' I then go to the file manager or a text editor and I can do it. The problem happens with Linux, Solaris7, and FreeBSD. With BSD, I only have Xterm and I tried to compile the kernel but that fail because permission denied when I went to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC. Remember, I logged in as root. Is there something I should do during installation???
