Log in as your normal user and type 'set' at the command prompt. What do you
have for $PATH?

You don't want your ordinary user to have administrator rights. It's a bad
move. However, if you REALLY want to expose your self to disaster, you can
either simply log in as root, or use root to make your ordinary user-id have
ID 0 and Group ID 0. You can probably use UserDrake or edit the /etc/passwd
file directly.

        Subject:        [newbie] Command not found

        Hi,
                I successfully solved the partition problem by creating a
partition first,
        then delete and reallocate it during the install.
                However, when I went into console using the ALT + CTRL + F1,
login, but
        when i type any command, even ls, they say command not found, but
under
        root, i can use those command, Please assist.
                I also help in this... Windows 2k allows user to be assigned
administrator
        rights, does linux allows that? How do I go about doing it?

        Thanks,
        Regards,
        Loke Kit Kai
