Yes, its ridiculous how something so small as 100 MB o= r even 30MB can be such an issue, but in a marginal internet area like wher= e I am, it is!

It=E2=80=99s probably a good idea to mention steps to reproduce the issue. W= hy is something already downloaded wasted, when doing what attempt again? =E2=80=94=20 > http://www.tomek.cedro.info A =E2=80=9ECore Linux utility adduser=E2=80=9D doesn=E2=80=99t exist. What d= oes exist for Linux are helpers named like that, at least one GPL licensed h= elper https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/adduser-deb/ and a BSD licensed hel= per https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/adduser/ . However, Arch Linux probab= ly isn=E2=80=99t the only distro that doesn=E2=80=99t provide an =E2=80=9Cad= duser=E2=80=9D utility at all, by official repositories, https://archlinux.o= rg/packages/?q=3Dadduser , https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/users_and_gr= oups#Example_adding_a_user . While Ubuntu does provide this helper, it=E2=80= =98s still even not a =E2=80=9ECore=E2=80=9C utility. It=E2=80=98s just some= software, such as an Internet browser.
