We should prompt for a user/password rather than providing a default
one.  Kadischi could take a cmdline switch like --user=fedora
--md5-password='$1$MEUsTNg2$89lWdr/Hd1YFAIKBXPkD43'

or popup a dialog requesting a username and password.

The user could either be created at CD creationtime or boottime.  The
only difference that I can see is if a creator wanted to stick special
files into the home directory (and didn't want to put them
in /etc/skel.)

And sometimes you don't want any users or passwords or you want a user
with a disabled password so we should be able to make that happen as
well.
