I booted the FC7 Test 4 GNOME based i386 Live CD. This may seem intuitive to people that
are test users (and it may not be this way in the final release) but when it asks for a
user login, how would Joe Blow know what to put in for a user name and password? I ended
up guessing to use "root" and no password but how would an end user know?

The user name is 'fedora' and you should see a Fedora icon for this if
you're running in a high enough resolution. But you're probably running
at 800x600 (qemu?) so no faces are shown. See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=235114
for details. We will fix this for Fedora 7 final as many things like
qemu and perhaps VMWare use 800x600. Hope this helps.

Well bust my bootie. I just put the CD back and in and rebooted. There is indeed a huge
icon on the login page that says "Fedora Live". I ignored it the previous boot.
I assumed it was just part of the graphics and did not realize I should click there. I
clicked and it and it logged right nin...thanks!

You are correct. This should be documented. I cliked
on the icon fedorauser and it logged in automatically,
I opened a terminal and typed su - and it went
straight to root. There are no passwords. So Joe
User should know about it via documentation.

Er, no. It should not *need* to be documented.
That means logging in automatically. If there is
only one reasonable action, no need to ask the
user what to do. At least have a timer:
"will login as user 'fedora' in 20 seconds".

Worth considering delayed autologin for Fedora 8. But keep in mind the
_only_ reason we show the login screen is such that the user can start
AT's (e.g. screen reader), select the language etc. etc. I imagine it's
also useful for Jumbo Live DVD's with both GNOME, XFCE and KDE. Then you
would have three users; one for each desktop environment. You would even
be able to fast-user-switch between these...

I have noted this information in the release notes a while back and it
will be in the final release FYI.
