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!
