help with file name space

although i ahve been watching this list for a few months, i only just got my
hands on a 486 to play with. one of my first acts was to download vsta. it
is running, sorta...

if i log in as guest, i can see the file system. but if i log in as myself,
I see no file structure at all. the shell can't even find any executables.

what did i do wrong?

on a different note, I an confused by the "enviroment" field of the passwd
file. what is that? (is an answer to that an answer to my previous
question?)

if this helps, every time i boot, init fails to find root and slepps for 5.
i assume it does eventually find it (from looking at code and the fact that
the guest account works).

hhmmm

derek
