I've installed F10 twice on one box now, and both installs did that to me. Not allowed a root login, but it never asked for a user to be setup. So I installed again, and again it failed to ask for a user to be setup. I didn't try a 3rd time on that box, plugging in a Mint Linux dvd instead, but that release everybody was having orgasms over wasn't anywhere near ready for prime time. That box now has ubuntu-8.04 LTS on it, but it may wind up with 6.06 LTS simply because the newer X has 1 second or more in lags the screen update, and for emc, that is very much _not_ a tolerable thing. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
