I wanted to say that while I was not able to set the password, some update on Fedora (can't see another reason) has fixed the problem with liveuser in the sense that it can log in without asking for a password.

Interesting!

Are there more lines that should be added before or after

user --groups=wheel --name=myuser --password=""

Btw, I thought I would paste my log file here in case someone had suggestions as to what is going wrong.

I assume you've tried just pressing enter with no password?

You can add a line like the following:
user --groups=wheel --name=myuser --password=""
That should create a user with no password.

I don't see anything in the kickstart files that would change that, but
maybe if you can login as a different user, you can look around and see
what's happened.  Or you could mount the live filesystem and see if you
can find something.
