(Fingers to temples, eyes closed) Quite please! I need absolute silence while I read your mind and determine your configuration. '/etc/passwd' is wrong, for one thing. Check 'setup.log.full' in '/var/log' or the directory you ran 'setup.exe' from (your mind is cloudy - I can't see this clearly). Your post-install scripts didn't run successfully. You can try to re-run them by hand but they will likely complain again until you determine the source of the problem, unless it was just a question of timing. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
