Prior to F19 it was what happened by default: there was no user creation in anaconda, and no CLI firstboot in Fedora (for a while there was one but it didn't offer user creation); so on a minimal install you only had to set a root password and you wound up with a system with just the root user. As I mentioned in my initial post, the Law of Xkcd informs us that if we change this so that user creation is mandatory, it will *inevitably* piss someone off. Having said that, I personally wouldn't mind doing it and facing down the inevitable flamewar, but hey. Cutting i-s down to size seems a more conservative and almost equally beneficial option. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
