user+group notes in install doc

Hello,

99% of all users install Gentoo following the installation doc step-by-step and I think it would be a good idea to include a note about additional groups like wheel, audio etc. as many people come to irc or ask here in the forums why su doesn't work etc.

Just a little note about how to add a new user + this user to a group would be a good idea I think

Yeah, except the install doc is for just that -- the installation. Adding a user to the wheel group is more of a system administration kind of thing.

BTW, the su issue is covered in the Gentoo FAQ

hm sure but almost every user will add a new users and most users might want to have this user added to wheel - that's for most people part of the new system and not "an option".

And it's covered in the FAQs but some people don't look there that's why I thought a notice for such a hot-topic thing might be useful

But anyway =)
