Description Jan Stodola 2021-08-31 13:40:26 UTC
Description of problem:
When the installer starts in text mode, the "Root password" spoke is marked as complete, although it's not (because root account or an admin user are required to begin the installation):

1) Start VNC
2) Use text mode

Please make a selection from the above ['c' to continue, 'q' to quit, 'r' to
refresh]: 2

       (Wired (enp1s0) connected)               (Root account is disabled.)
9) [!] User creation

Expected results:
