Good afternoon
My experience is that if you chose a root passwd at installation, sudo is
NOT installed.
Correct. I believe that in my earlier message, I said that sudo is
installed only if you choose to leave the root password blank. If not,
then I at least implied it.
Yes you had said that.
Somebody had kind of countered your comments by saying something like
'if you have lost access to sudo' I just wanted re-enforce your your words
