unable to instantiate...

[Derick Centeno]

Hi Horst!

Your questions regarding root can best be addressed by referring to a 
Linux reference.  Nearly any will do, here's a link to Amazon listing 
books available regarding that topic:

A quick online reference however is available here:

Good Luck...
