Description Stefan Assmann 2010-05-07 10:41:52 UTC

Description of problem:
After the installation the root user cannot login because gdm doesn't seem to allow root login. However I didn't see any option to create a user account in anaconda. Besides root login is allowed in kdm.

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install
