Re: Install doesnt set SuperUser PW

Hi David, sorry bout that. Agreed: bad form. Here's the page:

Thank you for your help. I don't understand what you mean but "trust basis"
and "don't listed on TCP/IP sockets by default" cause I'm really not that
informed. I know python programming, basics on DB design, but very little
on networking and SQL.

I'm really just trying to learn new stuff and I might be way over my head
but I just wanted to create a DB and start populating it with some data and
then mess around with it so I can learn. I'm interested in developing my
own text analysis tools off of my own emails in Outlook.

Thanks again.

Jovi
