I was wondering, could you get a base Debian system installed by
downloading from /dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/:
base2_2.tgz
images-1.44/rescue.bin
images-1.44/root.bin
Then install the rest of the system when I get networking configured?
Also, how do you rebuild the package listings?

Thanks. I didn't even know there was a command adduser! Why is it better
than useradd?

Hm. usually the home directory is set up and
created in the adduser sequence.
You usually get something like:
home directory: (/home/$logname)
what you can do by hand is check your
"/etc/passwd" file and make sure the home directory
field
(ie the field before the shell path)
points to an existing

About the 'no home' ting: it means that the system couldn't cd to the user's
homedir after assuming the identity of the user. Usually this means
that /home isn't mounted, or wasn't mounted when you added the user, but
you may have other reasons. Just make sure that the entry in /etc/passwd

Hi all,
When I add users, they get this when they login:
enterprise login: newuser
Password:
No directory, logging in with HOME=/
No mail.
Why is no home directory available for them and how do I get the system to
create default directories by appending the username to /home?
I need to be able

Hello Debian users! I usually just lurk and learn that
way but I have a few quick questions that I would
appreciate a little info on.
1.) I somehow managed to delete my /var/log/news
directory and was getting boot errors. I apparently
fixed it by recreating the directory as root but that

It is something else. Gnome stands for GNU Network Object Model

1. Gnome is not a replacement for X, nor a Window Manager. You need both
X and a window manager (any one will work, but some, like WindowMaker or
Enlightenment, provides additional functionalities to work seamlessly
with gnome). Gnome is a desktop environment, that means that it provides

How can I make setserial changes permanent. I'm using com 7 which is 0x3E8
and irq 5. Irq 5 instead of irq 4 is a permanent change as far as my system
goes but setserial reverts back to irq 4 at each reboot.
