I've created another sd card with the changes Jon Ingason suggested and 
once more on the first boot it goes to a text screen asking for set up 
data, password, etc, four items.

I am getting this text screen to set the initial conditions, I've set 
the root password, Language, and time zone information. Apparently the 
set user is disabled. But that all seems straight forward, however once 
I've done that I don't know what to do next, I'm guessing "r" for 
refresh which may be writing what I've entered and then "q" for quit?

"Please make your choice from above ["q" to quit | "c" to continue | "r" 
to refresh]:_"

Earlier I set the password and "q". It then asks are you sure, if not 
you may not be able to use the system [I paraphrase]. I could not ssh 
into it and had to start from scratch with another sd card.

So now I try with the new memory card and try to connect via ssh:

[bobg at box10 ~]$ ssh  root at 192.168.1.83
root at 192.168.1.83's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
root at 192.168.1.83's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
root at 192.168.1.83's password:
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).

Well that did not work either. I am still locked out of the new install. 
If nothing else it is secure!

I saved the SD card contents and can rewrite it but that's a slow 
process no matter how I do it. There must be a way to undo that first 
boot restriction? Even then I don't know how to respond to that menu 
after entering the requested data? [I snapped a photo of the screen 
should anyone be interested in that]

Can anyone make some sense out of this.

Bob
