coreutils' 'id' doesn't support -D, for example. OTOH Interix' 'install'
*doesn't* support -D (although a different -D...), which some Debian
packages need.

Will do. It just struck me as dodgy.

id -D (using Interix' ID):
uid=1049757(FNORD+dg)
gid=1049089(S-1-5-21-701420117-754076188-841501257-513)
groups=1049089(S-1-5-21-701420117-754076188-841501257-513),
65792(+Everyone), 197614(DG-PC+PasswordPropDeny),
131616(BUILTIN+Administrators), 131617(BUILTIN+Users
), 66820(NT AUTHORITY+INTERACTIVE), 66827(NT
AUTHORITY+AuthenticatedUsers), 4095(CurrentSession), 66048(+LOCAL), 1049680
FNORD is the name of my domain. DG-PC is the name of my machine.
id 1049757 produces this if I use Interix' version:
uid=1049757(dg) gid=1049089(S-1-5-21-701420117-754076188-841501257-513)
groups=1049089(S-1-5-21-701420117-754076188-841501257-513),
65792(+Everyone), 197614(DG-PC+PasswordPropDeny),
131616(+Administrators), 131617(+Users), 66820(+INTERACTIVE),
66827(+Authenticated Users), 4095(CurrentSession), 66048(+LOCAL), 1049680
If I use coreutils' version of 'id', I just get:
id: 1049757: No such user
This is when logged in as myself. When logged in as Administrator,
networking works fine.

Sorry, I don't know any of the correct terminology... all my account
information is held on a server operated by someone else that's about
6000 miles away. This means that I don't have very much control over
what it says about me (and is also the reason why I can't log in as
Administrator). Also, it makes operations that need to look up account
info very slow; the id command above take ~10 seconds to run, and 'ls
- -l' can take an age.

I've managed to install the emboldened hotfixes, those, but am still
kinda confused about the order in which I should install them --- given
that a lot of the hotfixes replace the same files, which one gives me
the most recent version of the core files? Right now I've got version
8.0.1969.38.
