user-setup: formatting, wording, added warning
This step was reworded and formatted according with the other
formatting changes, and there is now a nice fat warning about the
evils of the shadow suite (it defaults to relying on /etc/securetty
for root logins on the console, but doesn't install /etc/securetty, so
you are left without the ability to login as root unless you edit
/etc/login.defs or create /etc/securetty). Bad shadow, bad.

-Finally, we need to give the root user a password and probably create an user
-for you to do your daily work with.
+To set up users, chroot into the target system as for the bootloader step:
+[1m smgl-chroot[m
-To set up users, you'll want to chroot into the target system again, as you
-already did to install the bootloader:
-[1msmgl-chroot[m
+Set a password for the root user (pick a secure one, but not one you'll
forget,
+and bear in mind that it can be bypassed with a screwdriver):
+[1m passwd root[m
-Set up a password for the root user (pick a secure one, but not one you'll
-forget. Also, bear in mind that it can be bypassed with a screwdriver.):
-[1mpasswd root[m
-
-If you would like to add additional users at this time, you may feel free
-to do so by typing the following:
-[1museradd -d /home/mbolton -m [m-g users[1m mbolton[m
-[1mpasswd mbolton[m
+[1mRecommended[m: add at least one regular user for daily use:
+[1m useradd -d /home/mbolton -m [m-g users[1m mbolton[m
+[1m passwd mbolton[m
Replace mbolton with whatever login you want. Don't forget to change
/home/mbolton accordingly. You may also change the group (-g users).
+[1mWARNING[m: The default /etc/login.defs from the shadow spell makes use
of
+/etc/securetty to determine which devices root is allowed to login on, but
does
+not provide /etc/securetty by default. To login as root on consoles, either
+turn this feature off in /etc/login.defs, or create /etc/securetty and list
the
+devices you want (e.g. /dev/tty1).
+
Finally, exit the chroot to return to the installer:

+[1m exit[m
