I used the MATE spin (with current release CentOS and Fedora), and its install routine asks me to set up root, and at least one user. It does that while it's installing to the drive. NB: That's doing a default install from the live MATE spin ISO. Not installing Fedora (nor CentOS) from another ISO then adding MATE to the installation (I haven't tried doing that). I guess its down to policy of particular desktops whether they bother to ask you about these things (how much they dumb things down, and how much they expect people to update-over-the-top instead of doing a fresh install). -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-957.21.3.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 18 16:35:19 UTC 2019 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
