I know it must be on the filesystem somewhere! There is an entry in the man pages for it but when I try to /usr/sbin/adduser. The `which' command is your friend. some other commands/programs missing from the filesystem but where ever "adduser" is I expect to fing the others right there with it... Not missing from the filesystem, missing from your $PATH! May I recommend a basic book on UNIX administration without causing undue offense? shell for you, paths and all. Anyway, I seem to be unable to execute several programs for some strange reason or maybe not so strange. What See above. the games there by typing its name at the prompt and pressing enter. All I get once again is "Command not found" or some such BS. Wus up with that??? Try: ./<name> For some reason everytime I tryed to install XFree86 from the CD from the component install menu the install program would go off and check the install checksum and then say it was installing the package and just kinda stop not hang, just stop. I could abort the install by hitting ^C but My fault (and fixed in 2.0.5). I was trying to be too clever. Type ALT-F2 (that's function key F2, not F-2) to go to the X configuration screen waiting for you at this stage. ALT-F1 gets you back. Jordan -- Jordan
