choose this route, then sudo will be installed automatically, and the
non-root user account that you create during installation will be added
to the sudo group, so that it can use the sudo command.
I'm guessing the Live installer just assumes you want the second route,
instead of asking. I've never used it, so I'm not certain.

I know if I'm root, I can mount iso. but when I try to mount it, as I'm

I wander if it's possible for a non-root user to get access into a .iso
file.
I know if I'm root, I can mount iso. but when I try to mount it, as I'm

For now I can connect from a client machine using openvpn client but
only as a root user (or by using sudo). The client is an Ubuntu machine.
