I left /home partition in damaged state and intended to recover in a comfort environment of the new running system, not from a recovery disc. Also I was not going to recreate any users manually, that computer had more then one user account, and I was going to transfer records from passwd/shadow/group/gshadow from old installation which were backed up from a rescue environment. And I did all the things described above, but clean Fedora 10 did create enough unjustified obstacles to complete this process. Anyway, firstboot user creation dialog does not give enough advanced control over the user creation (I cannot specify uid/groups manually for example) so this feature is not useful for any kind of advanced machine configuration and must not be dictated by the firstboot. >> NTP firstboot crash: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474009 > > This one I get.

Consider you are working in environment where you need manual NM configuration for networking (e.g. encryption setup). How is this expected to work in such case? -- Lev. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
