To be perfectly honest, I'd start over again and this time don't install the stuff you don't need. ie. if you're not a developer, don't bother with the source. if you don't need X windows, don't install it. FreeBSD is such a breeze to install that it's quicker to reinstall from scratch than muck about with your files, deleting from here and there. >So far i >havent >been able to figure out how to login as root. How did you get the df output then ? Or find out the filesystem was full ? If you have the root passwd (which you did set when installing, didn't you ?), then you can log in as root. >ive read where i need to >edit > the wheel line etc. but i havent the faintest idea how to do this >either. If you mean to allow yourself to telnet in as another user then su to root, add the username to the /etc/group file under wheel. eg. wheel:*:0root,larry chas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
