It told me it was finished without prompting me for a root password or another user name. I was under the impression it was supposed to do that.
The workstation install sets up the initial user at the first boot of the installed system.
From what documentation I could find, root gets its password at install time and the intial user is optional.
That said, I'll try it.
I tried it. It asked for an intial user, but no root password. Also, I was looking at gshadow rather than shadow. shadow contains dots and asterisks for passwords. I couldn't su to root, but I could sudo sh.
There are other problems. I seem to have the same screen resolution as I did when installing. I do not know the actual resolution. xwininfo is not present. xrdb hangs. The resolution is not good.
It might be twelve hours or more before I can get back to this computer.
