I installed it, and then proceeded to try to install WP for SCO UNIX on it. After I had tarred the first disk to my hard drive, and tried to run the installation program, if informed me that I was not a super-user. I tried everything to become a super-user. It will not let me su from any account other than root, claiming that I am not in the proper user group to su. Even when I log in under root, I am still not recognized as a super-user. When I tried to run kdb_edit to fix this problem, it says the command is not found. I am running a 486 DX-66MHz computer with a 3.5" floppy, a 5.25" floppy, a Colorado Jumbo 250 tape drive, a Pinnacle RCD-5040 CD-R, a Chinon CD-ROM drive, and have 16MB of RAM. I also have a Sound Blaster AWE32, a Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM video card, and an adaptec 1535 host adapter card to run my SCSI devices(CD-R and CD-ROM). If you could provide me with any help at all I would be greatly gratified. Thanks Much, Justin Di Stefano witsend@cwv.net
