As a brand new linux/debian user (with help from this list) I have installed debian from downloaded disks and used the 12-96 InfoMagic disk set to dselect packages. I have configured and compiled the kernel (I think/hope). Now when I boot I get a message " no directory /home/(my account name). Logging with home ="/". When I look in /home there is no diectory for my account name although there was before the recompile effort. When I try to mkdir home/(my account name) I get a "mkdir : cannot make directory 'home/(my account name)' : Read only file system". I have tried both as root and in my account. I can create a file in my account name in the "/" directory. When I ls -l /home the result is "total 0". Help.
