I'm not 100% sure now, but I think, in older versions, you could turn them off after boot in firstboot, not during the installation. That's not possible in F14 anymore at all. We could still provide a way of skipping the user creation and setting root password in kickstart installations. This way also vendors preinstalling the OS for their customers could leave the user creation for the actual users in firstboot. My concern now is just the GUI installation. During GUI install, you cannot disable SELinux or firewall. And I think it would be better to have a normal user creation instead of setting root password in the GUI screen as well. -- Martin Gracik <mgracik@xxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
