I just copied the inittab from my pc. I checked to make sure all the scripts and
stuff are there. mingetty is there, along with it's libraries. login is there,
along with it's libraries. And the PAM and NSS stuff is in place ( I think). I
copied the passwd file, but I have a feeling that there is more to setting up
users than that. Should I kill my passwd file... boot into single user mode and
add user for root?
