I don't understand why Debian defaults home directory permissions to

mcrypt was intended to be the replacement, but "Please note that this

I just installed the 6/26 update of Debian 5.0 (debian-505-i386-
netinst.iso) on a Dell Dimension 4100. My installation does not boot
(GRUB Error 18).
I had no problem booting the first release of Debian 5.0.
Can anyone advise me?
