 After 5<?> minutes you can access the machine's console from an athena machine or any machine that has kerberos tickets.
 assuming you have called your vm "myParaVM"
-{{{athena% ssh myParaVM@xvm-console.mit.edu}}}

 this will take a half-minute, but your terminal should then read

 hit enter. It will display information about the OS and vm name and a login promt. Type "root". If asked for a password, just hit enter.
 Normally, we don't want to login as root, so we need to add a user
-{{{root@myParaVM:~# adduser username}}}
+{{{
+root@myParaVM:~# adduser username
+}}}
 where username is preferrably your athena identity
 this will prompt you for a password and then for some personal information
 that does not matter for our purposes.
 In order to install software, we next need to add ourselves to the sudoers file.
-{{{root@myParaVM~# visudo}}}

 this opens /etc/sudoers using vi.
 if you are unfamiliar with original vi, you can type the following sequence of keys (where [enter] and [ctrl] stand for the enter and control keys and username is the username you just added:
-{{{20j$a[enter]username[space][space][space][space]ALL=(ALL) ALL[esc]:wq[enter]}}}
+{{{
+20j$a[enter]username[space][space][space][space]ALL=(ALL) ALL[esc]:wq[enter]

 <do I actually want it to be username ALL=(ALL) ALL?>
 lastly, we need to start the ssh daemon:
-{{{root@myParaVM~# /etc/sbin/sshd}}}
+{{{

 now open up another local terminal and try to ssh into your VM:
-{{{athena% ssh username@myParaVM.xvm.mit.edu}}}
+{{{
+athena% ssh username@myParaVM.xvm.mit.edu

 and check that you can sudo:
-{{{username@myParaVM~$ sudo apt-get install emacs (or vim-gnome)}}}
