There are two replacements in F19. 'initial-setup' is used for all non-GNOME paths; it is basically a thin wrapper around a few of anaconda's spokes. It uses the exact same user creation spoke code as anaconda, so it supports whatever anaconda supports. 'gnome-initial-setup' is used for all GNOME installs (well, unless you fiddle with a kickstart). Up until g-i-s 0.10.x - what's in F19 Beta - its remote auth configuration code was entirely and irretrievably broken; the screen was there but it had zero chance of ever achieving anything. From 0.11 on - what's in F19 Final TC1 and later - it ought to be working a bit better, so there is _some_ capability for remote auth configuration on our default desktop, but it's very new code, probably still buggy, and limited in scope (as of course you know). > > Can we get a button to skip g-i-s > > mandatory user creation then ? > > I think that makes sense for some Fedora use cases.

There's a bug report where Simo and Matthias have gone around a few times on this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=958189 . I'll say no more. On the non-GNOME path, user creation can be skipped in initial-setup. -- 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
