I'm sorry for appearing to not have searched, but I did. hehe.

Like many new users, I realized that I do not inherrantly have admin rights like I did with windows. I understand that it is a saftey precaution, but as I am using it solely on my home pc, I SHOULD have admin. (and yes I know about su root )

Now, I do not know whethe or not this is normal, but when I load, I don't get any chance to change user. Now, I had recieved the CD from an instructor of mine in a computer foresnics class. Maybe it was something about his disk, but then again maybe that is just the way Knoppix opperates at first.

I would grately appreciate any help that you could give me.
