The very first step

Before you start with the post-installation, you must first chroot into your base system. Some of the following processes require direct access to the base system. As the base partition was mounted read-only, it must first be made writable. Our fsmgr tool will help you:

1. Users

A new installation of StrawberryOS only has the superuser named root. This user has all rights, but this is not safe if you want to use StrawberryOS as a desktop operating system. You can therefore create a new user who does not have root rights by default. To add a new user, you can use the useradd command: 
(SystemRoot) # useradd -m -G some_group -s shell username
PlaceholderDescription
some_groupA permission group for the user, e.g. sudo, kvm, libvirt, …

(SystemRoot) # passwd username
