Hi. There is something very strange. All of the files are copmleted,
i.e. have the done. However, in snooping around I found something odd,
that I hope someone can shed some light.
There's a:
base-files-profile.sh.done
However, in an earlier installation, I had a:
profile.sh.done file
The earlier file (base-files-profile.sh) copied a profile.default and a
bash.bashrc to /etc and also copied stuff from /etc/skel/default.
However, in the current broken configuration, it changes directory into
/etc/defaults and copies all the files manually.
I noticed other files that are different.
