Hi! I got it installed and was able to login and everything. Good job!

When I su, it doesn't change the prompt at all. Also, after you su
you can't find commands like "blanche", "moira", and "attach". Since
my prompt hadn't changed, I forgot I was being root and got all
worried.

When I su'd it did say "carla-root", though, which was good.


						Thanks,
