ok, so I got this freebsd server up and running, even able to ssh to it. questions: 1. when I run startx it auto logs me in on a minimal gui ( twm?). I installed gnome, I think, and want to log in using gnome, how do I change that? 2. I cannot su - to root, it says sorry. pam_group didn't seem like the answer, or I didn't read it right. How can I su to root from my account? Is there anything special to able to do that from ssh? 3. the boot loader... This server has 2 drives, and I already had w2k server on drive 1, and ubuntu-server on drive 2. when I boot, I now get options for F2-DOS ( win2k boots) and F5 disk0/1. I can't seem to find any option for my ubuntu OS. Is there a way to change that bootloader option to add /dev/sdb6-ubuntu? maybe I was looking in the wrong documentation, if any/all of this is in the docs, which one? the handbook? thanks -- Paul Cartwright
