Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Greetings, I'm re-sending this in plain text... sorry about the html codes in the last post. Sometimes when I try to cd to a directory like /usr/local/... I get an error message reading: Can't cd to ... I then try to cd one level down at a time. cd /usr then pwd to find out I actually made the trip. Then cd local and I get something like, "Sorry, can't cd to /usr/local." Why? I'm logged in as root. Now that I'm thinking about it, after I mount my CD ROM, I can see the files on it and everything, but, for some reason, I can't unmount it and I can't get back to a directory on my BSD hard drive where root is mounted. What's up? BTW, I'm sure you'll all be happy to know that I just got an email confirmation that my Complete FreeBSD 4.0 Book was shipped yesterday (May 26) from Walnut Creek.
