Hi Ronald, This is the same as the writers of handbooks and help/man/files- usuming reader know.
Ok, system startsup correct to user say "johan" >From here start> terminal I can change to su and do whatever I want - all interminal mode via user "johan" Logout "johan" system go to GUI where you can pick available users - click on photo - enter paswd - you login as say "programs" In Man 9.0 you could enter "root" without picking a user and go GUI as root. But in Man 9.1 you can only pick common user photo's. Best I can explain. Johan ***************************** ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ronald J.
