I seem to believe that it never gave me the option to create a user account. Can I do it now with out another 6 hour install?

If you switch over to a terminal console (e.g. Alt-F2) and try that it should work just fine. Did you try to create a user account and login with that during the installation? Once you get the install finish the root/GUI login restriction can be disabled if you desire. -- * Stephen Berg * * sberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx * * Sinners can repent, * * But stupid is forever. * -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
