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."

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: If you install phoebe as a fresh installation (not an upgrade of an existing Red Hat Linux installation), and select the workstation install type, and elect to manually partition with Disk Druid, formatting all partitions, you will eventually come to the panel asking for the root password. This panel does not prompt you to enter user accounts and passwords. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install as indicated above. 2.You will not be prompted to enter user accounts and their passwords. This means you will have to add the accounts manually, logging into root after the install. Additional info:
