If I made the mistake of installing everything in FreeBSD 8.1 as root up to this point, is a fresh re-install my only good option?
I am new to FreeBSD and recently went through the process of getting X running successfully with KDE4, Firefox and Adobe Flash Plugins showing up as installed after typing in the location bar:
I am now having various problems with Flash that I have determined (after reading posts on this forum) are probably related to the fact that I have been installing everything as root up to this point. After creating a new user and adding it to the group 'wheel', I am still unable to load KDE using:
[CMD=""]$ startx [/CMD]
It works as root, but as my new user, I get xterm instead. Does anyone know if its better at this point to re-install Freebsd from scratch and install X and create a user to install X or is there some way I can still get X to work with my new unprivileged user?
