Message-ID: <20001224.095239.-84454199.0.garethe@juno.com> X-Mailer: Juno 4.0.11 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Juno-Line-Breaks: 0-1,7-8,10-12 X-Juno-Att: 0 X-Juno-RefParts: 0 From: Gareth B Erasmus Deal Cygwin, I wanted to install a few bits of software on cygwin. But when I try to install the Arachne browser, It says that it cannot install unless I have root. Unfortunately I have not had much experience with UNIX/linux systems, When I try typing "Su" it gives me a few weird characters and then i suppose i am now "Super User" but then when i try installing my web browser it says i need root. Can you please tell me how to do this? P.S. I just have that small problem with cygwin, but otherwise I think that Cygwin is great!
