The obvious workaround is to use a temporary password during installation and on the first boot use passwd to change it (still leaves a small time window of vulnerability though). It is similar to removing pulseaudio upon installation to get the sound working. Surprisingly, Fedora keeps adding these "hidden" steps to complete a sane installation, yet adding a step to educate users about DE choices is still a taboo. Best, Orcan
