I installed Debian squeeze from a netinst CD without a root password,
without Gnome. I installed Gnome some time after finishing the
installation, and gksu wasn't set up for sudo mode, it didn't ask me
IIRC. So you're saying that the installer CD would have set this up
automatically if I had chosen to install Gnome then?
