No - if you follow my suggestion you don't need to change anything. Just |
| 15 |
make sure, before you wipe your old install you know which user numbers |
| 16 |
are used for "user" - here it's 1000, and "thelma" if you've got a user |
| 17 |
called thelma. |

What I was worried about was you might have a line |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
0:x:0:0::/home/root:/bin/bash |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
What THAT line should be is |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
0:x:0:0::/root:/bin/bash |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
but it probably already is. You seem to be confusing the root user and |
| 28 |
yourself - you need to get that straight in your head because if you |
| 29 |
don't you're likely to give yourself some nasty shocks. |
