But now, seriously, how I'm I supposed to log in at the desktop when I was not
offered the chance to create a regular user account during the installation?
Firstboot will ask you to set up a user account. Did you bypass this?

I never saw the firstboot routine.
I actually did the install *twice* thinking that I had missed that, but no.
That's why I'm puzzled.
Were these raw, fresh installs (where the filesystems were initialized)?
If they were upgrades, then the /etc/sysconfig/firstboot was probably
configured from the last install and firstboot wouldn't run.
Easiest way, boot in single user mode from grub and
# rm -f /etc/sysconfig/firstboot
Exit and let things move on from there.
I've installed several F10s (raw) and firstboot always came up.
