1 I know this list is for developement (and I am in no way a developer :=) ) but things are really strnage with this distro.

3 After installing I found that /etc/skel was empty.was there a package I missed or what?After installing Xf86-4.0.2 I found that "startx" doesn't work then tried "/usr/X11R6/bin/startx" but it couldn't find xauth or xinit.One last thing is that glibc-2.2.2-r1 seems to be messed up because pkgmerge keeps saying its not a bz2 file.This is after downloading twice.Will try one more time though.Can't use rsync because ppp doesn't seem to work yet (been spending most of my time trying to get X to work.Could someone please give me a hand here?I downloaded iso and have also downloaded most of the files in the update dir in the ftp server so if there is a package or two that I need then I'd most likely have them.
