Bug#490899: user-setup-udeb: way to (easily) *not* create a user, but do the root password setup
Package: user-setup-udeb
Severity: wishlist
Hi
Would be nice if there is an easy way to skip creation of an user
account but still do the rest of the task user-setup-udeb usually does.
IE, when I entered the root password and then leave the username blank
(login name), it currently displays a warning (fine), but then jumps
back and tries to do it all again. It should please ask something like
"Maybe you want to go without a normal user account?"
and then skip the user creation. And if you only ask that in case no
login name was entered it will only be displayed to very few users, so
not distracting most people.
Yes, one could enter some foo=bar during boot, to preseed some value and
pass by that. But - sometimes its hard to do that (broken kvm over
ip not letting you enter all characters is one reason), so it would be
nice if it can be skipped during d-i run too.
