All seems to go well until I'm told I need to set the time zone; It goes = to the next step without giving the opportunity to set it. Same thing with setting up root. Then it allows me to set up other users, but when I complete one I get = an error message; "pw has encountered an unexpected status 99" and = dosn't take any data. System is a 586/133 w/16MB 520MB hard Drive I'm new to unix but not PCs Thanks for any help!
