Easiest path is to just add
;; Allow root login to allow easy login before you set up your
;; initial password for sudo purposes. You can remove this line
;; after you log in and set your initial user password.
("root" ,(local-file "janedoe_rsa.pub")
after the janedoe thing and delete that whole paragraph. That provides
an easyish way to deal with things... if someone is uncomfortable with
having a root login, I suppose they have enough experience to know how
to remove this later if they want.
Great work on this, with that change I think it looks good to go!
