The machine this came from was: blaze.csci.csusb.edu question -> I installed FreeBDS on my home computer, do I automaticly have Super User access? I find that many of my files are denied to me. to me. Upon installation I selected to install everything under the dists folder from a dos partition. When I go to change the permission with the chmod command, dennied. Question -> What is ment by 'wheel'? Question -> Is 'root' a relative term to where you are, or, is '/' the one and only root? Unix takes a bit to learn! thanks frank
