Bug#640677: installation-reports: Default user "not in the sudoerfs file" after standard install
I'd be happy to help.
I could volunteer to make suggestions about reorganizing the website
to make it easier for new people to find what they need.
And I'd be more than happy to go through the installer and make
recommendations as to which steps could be explained a little better,
which gave me trouble, etc.
Also, this bug should be fixed in the stable repo asap if it hasn't already:
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/14634 (see last post).
It's an easy fix, just one line of code. That gave me much trouble
after installing + full update / upgrade of the stable, when trying
attempting to switch to testing repo for Xfce 4.8.
