~sigh~
seems like an awful lot of stuffing around for something that a user/developer should be able to access by default *in my opinion*. so far i have about 30% of functionality of my previous W2K system after several times the time required for setup. [as a workstation]
FreeBSD may be 'free' and more stable, but after i add my time to a setup it is over twice the price of XP Pro.
Something HAS to be done on the install front. I did select 'developer + X-windows' in the sysinstall and i think it would make more sense if the account security was more 'open' for the average user given they would be 'developing' on the platform. i mean, half of my apps didnt work due to permissions being short. again, i did select that i wanted a 'developer - x-windows' install.

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...
