Hi,
If I stuck this portion into the fedora-live initscript, it would enable
sudo for the first user entered during firstboot. Does this seem like a
sensible thing to do? Does anyone have the details handy on modifying
consolehelper as well?
-----------------
# check for the first user and add it to user wheel and then to sudoers
USER=$( grep 500 /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f1 )
GROUPS=$( groups $USER )
if ! groups $USER | grep -q wheel ; then
usermod -G wheel $USER
echo "%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL" >> /etc/sudoers

If you go the %wheel route, don't echo it onto the bottom of the file,
sed the line that's already in there with a hash in front of it.

## Allows people in group wheel to run all commands
# %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL

Otherwise, you've got both the commented and uncommented versions of
that line in there, and the actual active one is nowhere near the
explanation comment.
However, I'd keep an eye on this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=135592
Sounds like its being considered, and might also include an "enable sudo
for this user" option.
