I have solved a few of the issues. I set console security to off. added=
a
user (petrah) and I thought created an su at the same time. Apparently t=
hat
is not the case though. When I long on to xterm as root and then try to =
su
petrah I get a no file msg. Clearly I missed something.
The mouse is still inop still not sure why. It is a PS/2 that worked in =
win95
but the connector uses a db9 to conn to the comm1 serial port.
I've never seen an exterm window prior to this. Am I supposed to have Ic=
on as
in Linux or do I use the command line?
