So it looks like the weirdness is that "/" is owned by a "wheel" group, 
which I am not a part of, but there is also an "admin" group which I am a 
part of that gives me admin rights to the machine (this is some weirdness 
in the image). Didn't bother trying to fix it though, as I just decided to 
use the tarball.
