[solved]Problem After "su - [username]"

[Codeblues]

The minimal install 2008.0 beta2 cd says it can't find commands such as fdisk after I create my user account and su into it with the command su - [username] where [username] is the account I made following the handbook. Maybe I didn't read the handbook careful enough but anyone care to point out what I might be doing wrong?

The command should be:

Regular users are not allowed to do administrative stuff like run "fdisk".

If you used "su" to become a regular user, then you should be able to type "exit", and return to being root.

So I don't need to be using the user account I created when installing Gentoo?

[Maliwik]

Correct, you should really be installing Gentoo as root. The adding a user part in the handbook is only if you want to do other things as a normal user while you're installing.

You can usually even skip adding a normal user until you've got everything installed if you want.
