Thanks for correcting this, Phil.

For the F16 version of the guide, I've replaced step 3 with what you've provided and deleted steps 4-6.

The draft can be viewed at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/Installation_Guide/sn-switching-to-gui-login.html

Cheers,

Jack

Removing myself for these bug components as I'm either no longer involved in that aspect of the project, or no longer care to watch this particular bug. Sorry if you are caught in a maelstrom of bug changes as a result!
