Corrected sound problem but bad Hoary Install Behaviour

Hello,
I've had a problem with sound on two of my systems
running Hoary daily installation.
The applet sound control didn't want to launch because
it was not finding any sound device.
After a lot of search and wrong directions I've finally
found that the user which I use to connect to GDM was
not in "audio" group in /etc/group. Which the install
procedure should have done.
[I was not the only one having that bug, so maybe this
correction can be put in an unofficial Hoary Guide]
Also when I've installed the CD, the username was not entered
correctly in /etc/sudoers, so I had to do it by hand
in single user mode.
So I suspect more possible problem and would like to compare
my /etc/group to one freshly installed.
Or someone can give me the script which is launched at install
which setup the rights for one precise user, so I can redoo it
to adjust my install without reinstalling the whole cd.
Thanks.
Jerome.
