Make ISO installer more convenient
Closed, InvalidPublicFEATURE REQUEST

Description

During some ISO installation tests I found it quiet annoying (also b/c of my german/us keyboard mixup) to always log in with u: vyos and p: vyos to perform a system installation.

Why not enable autologin for the ISO installer? This would be one configuration file for systemd.
In addition, why not directly tell the user what he has to do? Please use 'install image' to install VyOS on your machine.

A custom ISO build by myself looks like this after poweron:

Unfortunately this does not properly work as debian live-build can not distinguish between ISO and IMAGE because both are actually the same.

This results in autologin on a regular installation, too. This has to be avoided. Sorry!
