Hi, I have been having a trouble getting various things to work on my new 5.1 workstation with gnome 2.x. tonight i was attemtping to get 'gtoaster' [cd buring s/w] working as i couldnt see any drives, and when i tried adding them i encountered a few errors muttering about permissions. so i logged on a root and low and behold not only did i see all the CD drives, but i could also browse my Network, something i have not been able to do. what should do? migrate to using 'root' for my everyday login, or somehow 'up' my ordinary account..? anyone have any suggestions on either idea and perhaps if i should migrate how i could go about this...? please 'CC' me directly on replys...
