I'm a few days behind but think I can catch up.
Under the "Creating a working admin account" section, the command
usermod -a -G admin [username]gave me the resultusermod: group 'admin' does not existBased on reading later in the section I tried
usermod -a -G adm [username]and that seemed to work. Is this just a typo in the original command?
