adding users? [FXx]
how do I make a user account that exactly mirrors root's settings in every way, except not a root account? I want my boot sequence, x configuration, xfce configuration, etc, all the same? last time I made a new user I went through and did it all the long way like the first time I did it with root, mainly because I'm nor sure how config files & their locations become relevant

Re: adding users? [FXx]
When a new user is created with adduser or useradd -m, their new home directory is cloned from /etc/skel.

Re: adding users? [FXx]
or from the docs:
user add -m -s /bin/bash <userid>
