'm' insteadda 'a'. But corel is better, dont require me to use a password, and just makes me click on the default user. .. or scroll down to root.

Which I guess relates to the confusion over all the different distros and editions. 'man ldd' comes up in the terminal window of corel. But oddly, if you do alt-F2, it pops up with a command line on the gui screen rather than actually giving the user the CLI text mode. Sorta looks like a Mickysloth 'feature'. Of those I've seen corel is the most like windoz. To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
