I'm not sure. Oh, and we might > even want to mention the word "superuser", or then again we might not. How about using 'root' for the user/account and super-user for the privileges? The 'root' user has super-user privileges all the time and the normal user can get those privileges via (the) sudo (mechanism). FTR: that *is* a slight diversion from what's said here: https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/ch06s03.en.html#di-user-setup Whatever terminology we use, I think it's important that we use the same terminology in both the d-i screens and the Trixie Installation Guide. Updating the Installation Guide should probably be done separately? Cheers, Diederik
