Why not use ssh then? It does allow login as root, and is easier to install nowdays.
I object on general principle to being told I can't do something with my own equipment on my own LAN. The first boot of any *buntu installation I do I do 'passwd root' to avoid the sudu/su BS trying to configure an installation. That said, you must have missed the implication of "multi-multiboot". ssh is only tolerable[1] the first time used on a system. The next and successive installations require all kinds of overhead because the client keyed on the first used installation. [1] ssh is not enabled/configured by default, so by the time you need it you have a chicken<>egg problem. I only need remote login for troubleshooting when the screen is black, capturing logs that don't exist unless the system is booted to run journalctl to extract text from binary blobs. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
