- Hi
- I have recently installed the full base system (not X11) on an 486. Linux have
- 35 Mb and 4Mb swap on the hd. It installed all fine and well, but now I'm
- having some problems.
-
- 1) It seems that I can't add users using the "adduser" in "menu". Is it broken
- or what ? First of all if doesn't give me choices for uid or gid and then it
- doen't create the home directory specified (BTW isn't it kind of stupid having
- /usr/users/username as default when /usr/users doesn't even exist ?) How do I
- chnge these things ? (I've looked for the source but I didn't find it). All in
- all adduser is quite useless for me. (Yes I do know how to add users by hand
- , but it is tedious (sp?) :-)
-
- 2) How do change the default editor in
- i) Elm (yes I know that you can change it in options, I want to know
- how to make joe or emacs the default editor for every user who chooses
- to use elm) ?
- now it's vi which I , for one , don't understand the least.
-
- 3) Where are the info files for emacs ? the only ones I got are UUCP.
-
- 4) What's the e-mail adress to Peter Macdonald ? (Inquering minds wants to know
- :-)
-
- I have read the FAQ, INFO and the last months News but nowhere did find
- answers to these questions (I found answers to many other questions though:-)
-
- Roger :-)
