I think you mangled your response very badly - it quotes most of the original guide. Could you edit that down?
If you know what you're doing in a Linux filesystem, you can skip having to create a user of your preferred username by renaming the rock64 user your desired username. 'sed -i -e' is a way of doing that, given the proper regex string afterwards. Basically, it's a clue to those who muck in filesystems and at the command line a lot that you can rename the user, but it's not completely trivial to do, and there are quite a few ways to mess things up doing it.
Quote:One question: I dont get what this means "I'm not going to say you should mount the new filesystem to do a bunch of 'sed -i -e' over in /etc and rename your home directory."
