If you're doing it via kickstart (which is what I have), you can try
something like this in the kickstart post sections:
%post
useradd -p '$1$aqFmf2PA$VVacErRFawntEp9asdasasdasd' kwan
sed -i -e "s/^\(AutomaticLoginEnable=\).*$/\1true/" /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
sed -i -e "s/^\(AutomaticLogin=\).*$/\1kwan/" /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
All that does is add the AutomaticLogin to gdm.. Not sure if it works
for root thogh.
