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.
