I filed this bug before completing the installation process and didn't realize that new user account creation has moved to the 'firstboot' process. Therefore this is not itself a bug, however I suggest you add some text to the screen that prompts for a root password that says "You will create user accounts the first time you boot following installation." Also encountered the same problem when I selected a (clean) expert / custom install. I was surprised at this lack of security ... having been accustomed (with previous releases of RH) to being prompted for the creation of a default user account! It *did* ask for a new user account at 'firstboot", but I didn't see any warning or this change in the readme files (unless I may have glossed over *that*!) This is the expected behavior -- I'll bring it up for inclusion in the release notes (not that anyone ever reads them, but ... :) |
