home directory empty?
after a fresh install of arch and after creating a new user my home directory is empty, is this intended?
/home contains USERNAME, lost+found
/home/USERNAME is empty
normal?
all my drives are mounted correctly
thanks

Re: home directory empty?
How did you create your new user?

Re: home directory empty?
Yes, the command you have used creates an empty user home dir. If you had appended "-k /etc/skel" the contetnt of skel would have been copied to your home.

Re: home directory empty?
I believe copying /etc/skel is default. The files are simply hidden by default (dot files).
