yes all you'll get is a ROOT user -- on Vbox or a = regualr install... Because you're the dude or dudette that is in full c= ontrol of that system, so logically you're going to have only root user= . that is old school, good school. from there you just create your user or = users you want on the system, then do your superUser duties in providing th= e user with what he or she needs to run the system themselves. Ie sudo, and= such ... happy days,

I have other doubts about setting = the system, especially some related to multi-language input in Void Linux (= with ibus), but I shall wait to clarify such topics after have solved basic= settings of the system.
I look forward to have a sooner reply from you,= folks!
