I am attempting to learn techniques for installing x11 ports, and chose several small, relatively simple ones to try. One of them (xspringies, I think) included a portfile with instructions on how to proceed. One of those instructions included using:
"su -"
at the prompt.
When I did that, I was surprised when I was prompted for a password. What was more
surprising is that my password for logging into OSX was not the right one it wanted.
Is there a bigger story here? When installing x11, I don't recall being prompted for a preferred password. Is there a way to set that now?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Is there a recommended path for learning the ropes for installing ports?
