Debian installer has for some time (not sure how many releases) supported sudo like this: You are asked for root password, and if you just hit enter (i.e. provide blank password) then sudo is installed with the first account added to sudoers group. If you want to get rid of sudo, then first add a root password with "sudo passwd root", then log in to the console as root (also to verify that it works) and remove sudo with "apt purge sudo". > I can't take a screenshot of the related installer screen as that > facility has been removed :( Sounds like an issue with Wayland. Sorry, I am not familiar with that yet myself, but perhaps this helps: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23856154/how-to-take-screenshot-under-wayland > New installer does look very nice though, great work.
