This install now invokes rawhide. After installing tried to use sudo 
with the assigned user. Received the message the user was not 
priviledged.  In a root terminal added the

user to wheel. Still not allowed. "visudo" showed a comment character on 
the wheel entry. Put the user in as (ALL) ALL now had priviledged access.

Of note, visudo now using nano instead of vi
