Sorry it's been a week or so; I've been looking at the storage re-initialization popup [1]. Anyway, here's a couple of different mockups (sorry if the blue is too much, if the aesthetics are too scary just ignore them for the meat): https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/UX_Redesign/Sudo_By_Default I did two versions; - version #1 is where you can simply use 'root' as your username and it'll set a root password instead of create a first user. One potentially weird/awkward thing here is that I don't think it's so nice to set a real person's name on a root account (is it even possible?) So I think the right thing to do in the case of setting the username = root is to blank out the 'Full Name' field and grey it out as well when 'root' is typed in the field. - version #2 is where you can 'opt-in' to setting a root password with a bit of an explanation as to why you don't want to do it (to discourage folks who might not be up for it from doing it.) The explanation on that screen may be BS though, I made it up. :) In both versions, you get extra screens by 'opting-in' to them via checkboxes (similar to how the partitioning screen works today.) What do you think? ~m [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/UX_Redesign/Anaconda_Storage_Reinit _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
