You wouldn't, with a minimal install. User creation is done by firstboot in a graphical install. In a minimal install, there is no firstboot any more (since F16 IIRC); when there was, the tool it ran didn't handle user creation. So when you do a minimal install, you have to log in as root and do user creation yourself. > None is listed in the generated kickstart file. > When using cntrl-alt-Fx to switch consoles, > I could not get back to my original. > When I got around to trying root, I was allowed to login. > > Also, which of the following should concern me: > [root@localhost root]# grep -v Installing install.log > warning: setup-2.8.36-2.fc16.noarch: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID a82ba4b7: NOKEY > Need 'inst' function, try setting PLYMOUTH_POPULATE_SOURCE_FUNCTIONS to a file that defines it > SELinux: Could not downgrade policy file /etc/selinux/targeted/policy/policy.26, searching for an older version. > SELinux: Could not open policy file <= /etc/selinux/targeted/policy/policy.26: No such file or directory > load_policy: Can't load policy: No such file or directory > grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template > grubby: doing this would leave no kernel entries.

Try doing a full install and I suspect a lot of the above 'weirdness' would go away. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
