My guess is that "." is not in your path. It usually isn't for the root login. Try typing ./tetris or ./trek from the /usr/games directory. On Jul 28, 2004, at 3:31 PM, rcini(a)optonline.net wrote:

FIrst, you shouldn't be running programs as root, just as you shouldn't run things as administrator on windows. It's bad practice, I know it's a sim, but habits carry over... Root user environments are often less casual and friendly (eg. paths) than normal users, and you ought to get in the habit of configuring it right (eg. in your .bashrc or whatever to match your shell). I of course recognize that your first (few!) times out, you'll make a mess of the disk, etc, which is perfectly fine -- explore! You can always reload, and doing it wrong is often tyhe best way to figure out what's a right way -- but then switch to the (a) right way... :-)
