Can we please not derail the discussion? But, at present, only g-i-s does this, and that's up to upstream GNOME. anaconda and i-s do not (and will not) require user creation. i-s will be amended to warn if you don't create an account (like firstboot did), but it will let you go ahead if you acknowledge the warning (like firstboot did). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
