 |
|
the FAQ dosent give details on exactly what you need to to make a user.
I need to make a user that has access to everything a normal user can access, no special restriction or anything like that, can someone give me the syntax for creating a user like that? |

the easiest way is to
| Code: | emerge superadduser
|
Then
It will ask all the right questions and create the user for you.
[Edit] I forgot, if you want that user to have su rights then add the wheel group as an additional group. Also audio, if allowed sound. I don't remember the group for a cd burner if you have one.

will the KDE user manager allow to add a user to the wheel audio and cd burner groups?
do i need to do anything special to allow a user to use a mounted FAT32 partion? |

I haven't used kde for quite a while. As for your windows partition you should only have to set the permissions to allow whatever functionality you want to allow. I beleive by default write access is by root only. read only for others.

You will have to mount the partition with certain parameters that allow normal user(s) to access it, by default only root can mount/write FAT32 partitions, for information about how to specify the flags and which ones to use, take a look at |
