  - confirm deletion of partitions

* reboot into CoreOS

    reboot

- log into CoreOS (using the same password as for the rescue system)

- set the hostname (if you have omitted it in install.conf)

    hostname {hostname}

- change root password

    passwd

- create a password for the `core` user

    passwd core

- login as core user from another console to make sure everything works as expected (and to avoid lockouts)

    - edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config 
    - set PermitRootLogin no
    - restart sshd

        sudo systemctl daemon-reload
