So just for the hell of it, I completely removed root after making an identical user named avatar (as in some other *nixes). The only problem is some programs (ie su) look for root and not uid 0 (stupidly). Is there anyway to fix this? _________________ In Soviet Russia, ISOs install you. |

So there's no way in hell it will work with Linux? The only thing that's different form root, is that su - doestn work, so i just have to su avatar, and when runnig lunar tools, it gripes about not running a fully initialized root shell. _________________ In Soviet Russia, ISOs install you. |

it's not possible to find *every* single instance of hard-coded references to "root" in every package.
I can fix the lin/lunar problem tho - will give it a shot for you ;^) |
