Thoughts about Fedora 21 Desktop

[Peter Laursen]

"the suggestion was just that *if you do create a
user account during install*, it should be an admin by default.
basically, change the default state of the checkbox on the user creation
spoke."
..was exactly what  meant (don't forget that I started this discussion! :-)
)

But if there is room in the installer interface I'd suggest too that
"Administrator" could change to something like (compromise!) "Administrator
(sudo'er and member of the 'wheel' admin user group)" or similar.
