Post #35,734 by dmarker2 4/17/02 3:21:37 AM Reply	$64k question for you - r u ready ? - here goes ... What is the root password that allows you to login as su in a YOPY term window ? (I want to transfer an updated mmc.o file to /usr/local but because there is a file there with same name & owned by root - won't let me copy over it - but YOPY manual doesn't seem to have any info on becoming root user - or for that matter how to download from PC to the YOPY, I am using mmc card to do it - all my other PDAs (Palm OS & Win2002) allow me to darg & drop onto the PDA from PC. YOPY doesn't seem to have this ability :-( Cheers Doug Marker

I'll dig for it, but it might take me a few days. If you like, drop me a line maggie at biggs dot com and I'll send you my contact info for the guy at gmate. He can help, I'm sure. There is a yopy desktop that you can use to transfer files. It's kinda buggy, but it will let you transfer files. Assume you have tried chmod -- yes?
Post #35,845 by dmarker2 4/18/02 2:15:07 AM Reply	Re: well....er.....um..... chmod - I didn't even have a go as I figured I'd get the same reaction (not logeed in as root). Will try it in a min. I have made several posts in the YOPY developer forums but noone seems to respond & as always I end up working the stuff out the hard way. Cheers - Doug

Last time I was in Sonoma/Napa was in 1979 as a new employee of ITEL (used to be an IBM mainframe cloner until IBM put them out of the computer business with their infamous vapour 4331 announcement). Was on a training course in S Valley & self & a friend did a trip by car of some several hundred miles - drove inland - drove upland - drove to coast - drove back down to SFO via Napa. We bough a few wines on the way thru. Cheers Doug (have been to SFO many times since but not back to Napa - went to Tahoe instead)

Lafitte or Margaux '61 (or any year d'Yqem).. ho hum. But it is 'country' still, in lots of places. This despite the inevitable hucksters trying to Disneyand things, everywhere. Ex: Currently we're fighting an Int'l Corp - attempting to build a 90ish room hotel across from a local winery = tour buses, an "event" at least every week. These assholes don't even live here, nor give a fig about what kind of 'here' they'd like to convert to a 'there' (like every other &%&$ 'entrepreneur' whose brain language is in $/sec). Issues about local water table, etc. So far the plan's been sent back for an environmental impact report. We shall remain vigilant. What's really nice is... the quiet. So far, and despite - a very-occasional car whose driver thinks it's a 500 W. drum-machine boom-box, meant to spread around his large love for incessant thumps. Really Murican, that.. Still - there are two airports capable of landing a Carter Copter :-\ufffd (But more action at Tahoe, agreed) Karsten can give you an alternative view of the area du jour. Ashton
