When Installing go message couldn't create Amanda user. 
Using root user instead. Manually created Amanda user later on 
but don't know which groups to add it to. 
Got errors saying home directory was not created had other trouble 
with user rights. No sure what to do at this point help appreciated , 
used the suse sles10 rpm and the guide to install in less time than ordering a 
Pizza                       
Then came the errors.  Not a Linux guru this is mostly trial and error.
trying to backup to a travan drive, a Novell oes Data volume directly to the 
usb travan drive on the server, which is already detected by Yast.
Using Amanda because of budget constaits in buying a commercial product. 
directions hard to understand lost at this point.
Help appreciated,

Bill
