 Hey there!
 
 Ive recently installed Sarge/Testing. Everything went fine.
 Love the new installer.. Smth.
 Autodetected all my hardware on the laptop of mine :)
 
 BUT, after some usage i found a file called /1 wich contained something
 about /etc/emacs and /2 
 and i dont use emacs. Though in /etc/emacs there was some that could
 have been installed by devhelp. 
 
 My question is, has anyone else had this /1 file? was i rooted? is it a
 known bug?
 Anyway i had to wipe my drive, so i cant paste the exact containment in
 the /1 file.
 
 can anyone shed some light to me?
 
 Best regards

Okey, a short update.
The installer, still kick-ass, though, i wasnt able to make it install
lilo instead of grub. i skipped the install grub and choosed install
lilo instead, bud as i hit enter, i see the installer saying
installing  Grub .. not lilo.
Weird.. (i know its still under development.. just wanted to let ya
know)

I have narrowed down the possibillities of things that could be the
cause of that file. 
1st) I had a visitioir, simple as that. i was kindof unprotected, though
still it feels pretty stupit to leave a file that visible...
2nd) What i can think of, the only package i havent installed that was
on this box before is the mldonkey-server  mldoneky-gui packages, wich
i was using..

anyway, would appreciate some opinions. what could have caused this..
shall i post a bug report? 

btw, sorry for the anonymity before, not used to this. ;)

Best regards

Installation reports are best sent to debian-boot.

It seems very likely that the files are the result of a maintainer
script bug rather than any kind of attack. However, you'd need to be
able to narrow it down to a particular package before you wipe the disk
in order to file a bug, really.

Cheers,
