My bad - hit reply w/out realizing how it was addressed.  Thanks for 
your patience.

O.k.  I got Morhix-Gnome on the hard disk, but the useradd seems to be 
failing at install time.  When I reboot, I get to the login screen, and 
cannot login as either root or my regular userid.  I know the passwords 
are correct.  I noticed that after the installation, when I logout of 
the CD-based Morphix, it shows some error messages to the effect of 
"useradd command not found".

I don't see anything on the Wiki about this.  Should I be doing 
something after the installation completes  - or is there anything I can 
do to overcome this issue?

Thanks,
Don
