 Err? The installation tool does that almost automatically. In this
part - retrieving the sets - the Amiga installation tool is even easier
to manage than the i386 systinst-tool.

 From here on, you are a UNIX administrator. Please do not believe that
we will answer all the basic questions releating standard administration
and configuration. The BSD-FAQ, almost any UNIX-FAQ and nice books
and of course man pages help more.

> Now, the problem is, how in blazes do i get to install a new user??? 
 
 BTW, fix your keyboard please, the "!" and "?" keys seem to be broken :)

 "man adduser" does help you. The package "addnerd" (is on the Gateway)
helps as well.

 Which ones?

 This is not _installation_ but _administration_ (and admiration). 
THERE ARE PLENTY OF DOCUMENTS OF THIS KIND ALREADY :-)

> BTW: Nice thing this MAN command. Gotta do something like it for the AMIGA :-)

  use it:

 "man apropos"
 "man -k user"
 "man vipw"
 "cd /usr/share/doc; find . | xargs more"  (enough to read for months :-)
