Hello, just wanted to let you all know about a bug that made my install of OSX grow to about 4 hours.. When i installed OSX for the first time the setup all goes wonderfully until it asks me to name my computer and enter my password. Well bieng a very established unix guru, i erased the default name it gave and i typed root for the names i think it was login name or computer name.. 1 of the 2 that i figured would be the login. Well anyways after it installs everything OSX starts up and not 1 APP will launch. everything on the dock is FOLDERS.. I had to go back and do a clean install to overwrite my exsisting setup config to get this to work. UNIX geeks im sure will do the same so if you could please fix this i would appreciate it.

Ho hum...

This is offtopic for this list.

Not only that, but you shouldn't try and create a root user, it's created by default, and disabled. Search the other forums for how to enable it.

Yes, this is off-topic.

It's not like none of us check the other forums, and you're more likely to get a response there.
