I'm not in favor of that because the add user screen used to be in anaconda before moving over to firstboot. The decision there was based on what steps were actually critical to installation and which were doable after the system was installed. Adding users was clearly something that was not critical to installation. I see no problem with removing the root password screen from the interactive installation but leaving it in kickstart. I think that would still retain the flexibility for users during installation but further simplify the interactive installer. Firstboot's add user step should require either setting the root password or adding at least one user. If the latter, the user added should have sudo enabled for the account. If a root password is set, the sudo part should be optional. This all sounds similar to what was discussed before. If we can come to an agreement, I say we propose it as an F-16 feature and take the discussion there. -- David Cantrell <dcantrell@xxxxxxxxxx> Supervisor, Installer Engineering Team Red Hat, Inc. | Honolulu, HI | UTC-10 _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
