no adduser or useradd for 0.6 install

followed the steps for CD install,
installed base, then packages, then kernel
then went to install an user.
no adduser
no useradd

and no place to modify root password

so on reboot no users, no root. dead in water

The solution is:

Install arch, reboot, login as root without a passwd,then run passwd and useradd and groupadd and gpasswd -a ...

just to be sure nothing had change si wen tback to review the cd install procedure. at no point does ti talk about setting up root passwords or user accounts. it says to refer to section 3.3(?) after reboot. and i believe there is discusses what to do with respect to users and passwords.

tried the fourth time and I got an usable boot,
from there it was as Pink said on adding users
and changing root password

now onto X

Arch Linux
