Firstly I know its an alpha and alpha has a habit of breaking stuff. Hopefully someone can help me anyway.
Just installed from Alpha 6 Alternate install CD on my soon to be....I hope file-server. After install I cant sudo anything. My first step after install was to be adding packages like apt-cacher.
I have done a bit of research and found a few things didn't get done on install for some odd reason.
For example here's my \etc\group file
As you can see no one is in admin group at all.
My \etc\sudoers file is there but doesn't contain a single line. Its just blank.
Now if possible id prefer to save this install as its happened to my 2 times for 2 so far with the alternate CD and id like to get things up and running. The only reason im running alpha is I was stuck on 8.04 on the server and couldn't upgrade due to the KDE 3.x-4.x thing. I used alternate install CD mainly because im also running a 4 disk 3Tb software raid.
So any way I can fix this or do I spend the hours downloading the desktop CD and hope that works?
Edit:Managed to fix the sudo thing in recovery mode. Im still trying to sort out my \etc\groups problem. Can anyone point me to what my groups file should contain after a standard install please? Then I can modify mine to match.
