Do not use one of the example passwords offered in this manual. Using one of these passwords
could be considered a security risk.
Note
The root user (also known as the superuser) has complete access to the entire system; for this rea-
son, logging in as the root user is best done only to perform system maintenance or administration.
3.22.2. Setting Up User Accounts
If you choose to create a user account now, you will have an account to log in to once the installation
has completed. This allows you to safely and easily log into your computer without having to be root
to create your user account.
Enter an account name. Then enter and confirm a password for that user account. Enter the full name
of the account user and press Add. Your account information will be added to the account list, and the
user account fields will be cleared so that you can add another user.
Figure 3-19. Creating a User Account
Choose New to add a new, non-root, user. Enter the user's information and use the Add button to add
the user to the account list.
You can also Edit or Delete the user accounts you have created and no longer want.
3.23. Package Group Selection
After your partitions have been selected and configured for formatting, you are ready to select pack-
ages for installation.
Note
Unless you choose a custom installation, the installation program will automatically choose most
packages for you. However, you must select either GNOME or KDE (or both) to install a graphical
environment.
