install-user - either installs Starbuntu or, among other things generates a new user and provides for him an immediate desktop environment (provided by Starbuntu)

install-user [ -i | -u ]

When called with the parameter -u, the Starbuntu program install-user expands the Starbuntu program del-add-user by providing an own complete desktop environment to the user freshly generated by means of this program.

After inserting the password, initially the program del-add-user pops up with which you can delete or generate a user and his group. When a user is generated, a directory for this user is also created.

After inserting the password for a second time, now the entire desktop environment of the primary user with the ID 1000 gets copied into the HOME directory of the new user and adjusted to this one. Copied file paths and links which still refer to the primary user also get adjusted to the new user.

Using the -i parameter, the install-user program installs Starbuntu on a new data carrier after entering the necessary data and equips its main user with the described desktop environment. What was said in the last patagraph also applies here.

In detail the following must be observed:

• First, the systemback installation program opens with the page for the necessary text inputs. All fields, including the root password, have to be filled out here. The next page opens with 'Next'.
  
  
• Here you determine by clicking which storage medium and which partition should be used for the installation of Starbuntu. Please orientate yourself by means of the display of the storage media and their partitions on the screen. Then you enter the slash on the right in the box "Mount point" and confirm with Return.
  
  
• Leave the box for the user configuration empty. The installation of the bootloader remains with "Auto". Click 'Next' and then on 'Start'.
  
  
• At the end of the systemback installation program, the message 'The installation of the system is complete' appears. This message only refers to this ongoing program. The Starbuntu installation continues after 'OK' and the termination of this program. Wait until the installation gets reported as successful.

With the installation described above, any other bootable partitions on the used storage medium are initially ignored. You can subsequently create a multiboot-GRUB menu by first booting the freshly installed Starbuntu, then opening the text file /etc/default/grub with root privileges and uncommenting the line DISABLE_OS_PROBER=<false|true> (i.e. removing the sign '#' at the beginning of the line) and finally executing the command 'sudo update-grub' in the terminal.

Installing Starbuntu, the program install-user possibly also copies private contents of the primary user. Therefore the administrator (root), after closing the program install-user, should remove all critical private contents of the primary user from the HOME directory of the freshly generated one.
