Hi Ray,
I managed to login as root.
Found INTRO, by the way at line 365 (You said 59 or 60), set to ""
Started ./generic.run
Result:
 ==========================
 inivar=plat/nonrealtime/bin/inivar
 INIFILE=generic.ini
 RS274NGC_PARAMETERFILE=generic.var
 starting emc ...
 starting EMC MOTION PROGRAM .. freqmod...
 IO_BASE_ADRESS=0x378
 modeprobe freqmod PERIOD=24000 IO_BASE_ADRESS=0x378 SHMEM_KEY=100
done
starting EMC IO PROGRAM .. minimillio...done
===========================
The error messages are gone, but the PC still hangs at this moment.
By the way, I have only one parallel port, indeed at 0x378, I have set it to 
standard mode,
IRQ at 7.

the SUDOERS file did contain what you told me.

Linux question 1), how do i change the setup such that it does not login 
default as bert,
but give me a login  screen that also alows me to login as root, EMC does 
need that doesn't it?

Linux question 2) the system has installed GRUP and starts default linux,
I want to change that such that default becomes windows XP, how do I do 
that?

Bert

regards,
Bert
