I want to perform some additional configuration before letting users log in to the desktop. The only way I've found to do this is to set up a user in the installer and switch to a console before finishing the process.

A hostname field would be nice, I don't have issues setting one after the fact though.

I'd recommend using the netinstall in this case. Maybe even setting up a kickstart you just update and reuse. -- Matthew Miller Fedora Project Leader ___ test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org
F29 Gnome Install process - A pain
This will probably be considered a "minor" pain. And, since I don't use GNOME except in a VM for testing, I guess it is. I'd just like to go on record to say I dislike a few things about the install process. 1. There is no option to set the hostname during install. 2. User creation is delayed until first boot and at the time of creation there is no option to specify the UID and GID. So, if you're like me, and use existing NFS services and your primary user doesn't have 1000/1000 for them you have to either know to create an initial throw away account or manually make changes later. -- Cardinal Rule of Presentations: "Tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them, then tell them what you told them." signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org
