    I'm a newbie to linux. I'm using Mandrake 9.1. I can't figure how to log into the root w/ my password.

    I can use "su" and do a basic install. But I can't get past the "building the image" section in the users guide PDF. When I've used "su" and install the software, I can "chroot /opt/Embedix" but I get a "bash#" prompt. Then I can't change directories to the 1h79520 directory.

    I have experience w/ DOS and command prompts. I have experience w/ assembly and Borlands C++ compilers.

    I have a basic idea on how to get myself around linux. But I have never built anything w/ linux.

    I also tried using "cygwin" in a windows environment. But the PDF doesn't explain how to install the software within a windows environment.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Joe.

    Can you show the output from the failed attempt to cd from the bash prompt? A copy and paste of the session would do.

    it's a lower-case L, not a 1. do an 'ls' in that directory
    to see what directories and files exist.

    Thanks. I hoped I was doing something simple, but not dumb(sigh).

    Now for the next steps.

    Thanks again
