I have installed 5.4/KDE on my Thinkpad 600E, and it mostly works but there are a few things I need help with. (Please note that I still consider myself being a newbie on FreeBSD!) ;) 1. I installed KDM to make the computer a little more userfriendly, but now I can't run things as su. Emacs refuses to start for instance, and when I am trying to adjust things in Login Manager (in KControl) it asks me for the root password, I enter it, and then I bounce back. What is the problem? I still can run emacs as lars, but not as superuser. (I can su in a terminal window of course) 2. During my window years (those are goodbye now! ;) I bought a TwinMos 256Mb USB-memory, and FreeBSD finds an umass device when I put it in my Thinkpad, but how will I mount it? Can it be done? 3. Since I installed KDM I got the "Turn off computer"-option in KDE, but it only runs FreeBSD to a halt, not to a complete power down - how will I chance that? 4. As su I can use tab to complete filenames, but not as user lars. I guess it has to to with which shell I use, how do I change shell? Or is it another way I can get the possibility to use tab to complete filenames? 5. My girlfriend found the Klickety-game in KDE - anyone else here having the same problem? Your computer being taken by someone who wants to play the games so you cannot sit for hours and hours and have fun tweaking the system? ;) Hope someone can help me! Thanks in advance! / Lars
