Fedora 9 alpha (live x86_64): not prompted to create user

[Michel Salim]

Hi,

I just installed Fedora 9 alpha -- to install I logged in as the
'fedora' user, and there is also a guest user offered. After
installing, the fedora user is gone, but

1) the guest user is still there, but attempting to login using it
results in nothing .. the mouse pointer still responds to input, but
nothing is drawn over the background image

2) I was not prompted to create a user. The new first-boot program
seems rather rudimentary still, so I guess this will be fixed in the
beta.

The Synaptic driver is still suppressing use of any other pointing
device, which is rather annoying, but that's not a problem with the
beta either.

Confirmed. i386 from CDs.

Firstboot was not started here at all. I started it manually to
try it out.

Creating a user during first boot is a feature that should be put back. 
Otherwise, a new user will have root privs right off the bat as root.  I 
believe there is a bz for this already....

Just a matter of things being in flux with what's in firstboot vs what's
in gdm, etc.  For now, the screen is back in firstboot (as of last week,
so not in the alpha)
