Yes, use the method detailed below by Steve Berg.... Once you are logged in to the console (in text mode, using root), use the useradd tool to create a user for yourself. You should then be able to login in to the gui using it. BTW, the last install I did (F13 Beta, yesterday, from a live image) rebooted after installation, and the first thing it asked me was to create a user account before it put up the graphical login screen. > Nathan Woodruff > -----Original Message----- > From: users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Berg > Sent: Monday, April 26, 2010 12:37 PM > To: Community support for Fedora users > Subject: Re: Installing Fedora 12 > By default these days X does not allow root login.
