There is a question as to whether you want to set up a root account, I think.
If you choose not to, then you get a normal user account.
If you choose to set up a root user:
If you do _not_ set a root password, then the first user you set up is set up
with sudo. In Ubuntu, this is the default behaviour, for example.
I'll now need to go and check a standard (as distinct from an expert install)
All the very best,
