I have updated the install to include the post install scripts used configure a node. My testing says it works, but the proof is in the pudding. If you have downloaded the ISO in the last month, all you have to do is start a fresh install. After the second reboot, you can login as root. You can login as root on either the console or via ssh on port 22. root password is debian. You will be prompted to configure the system starting with setting the root password. questions and suggestions are welcome.
