Hello, BJH2017 skribis: > Ya I do have %base-user-accounts in my config file here is what I had for > user accounts in full: > > (users (cons > (user-account > (name "root") > (uid 0) > (group "root") > (supplementary-groups '("home-directory")) > (home-directory "/root") > (shell (file-append zsh "/bin/zsh"))) > (user-account > (name "fusion809") > (comment "Brenton Horne") > (group "users") > (supplementary-groups '("wheel" "netdev" > "audio" "video")) > (home-directory "/home/fusion809") > (shell "/run/current-system/profile/bin/zsh")) > %base-user-accounts)) Here ‘cons’ is given three arguments.
