the system to prompt for a login name at startup though - anyone recall
how to
do this?
Hm, no real answer from me; my slab came with a root user already built
in, and for the life of me I can't remember how I got root access when I
did a total reinstall onto a new disk. I'm fairly sure James Rice was a
help here.
I'll get to the manuals tomorrow, but I'm
almost certain they won't cover
OS
setup, and even if they did would be the wrong version anyway :-)
If I can do it blind then you can too. I even patched mine with the y2k
install and did other stuff without help, pity I'm 250 miles away from
mine right now.
needs far too much desk movement to get it across the
screen. Funnily
enough I
found exactly the same thing with the BeBox - so it's possibly a trait of
early 90's GUIs...
Yep, that's an irritation for me too.
