Temporary directory and file: After installations and base-config, I have a empty directory /cdrom0 and a file /tmp-Xhack (with one line: read-edid mdetect) under my root directory. Are they temporary files for installation? I cancelled the step of create unprivileged user step (because I want to put that user in a group of different name than the username), is that the reason these temporary file are not deleted? 2. lilo.conf template In woody installation, the /etc/lilo.conf is generated from a nice template with intensive comments. This templated makes modifying lilo.conf much easier. However after this installation the lilo.conf is just several lines without any comment. Is it possible to bring the template with nice comment back? Thanks for the wonderful work on Debian!
