Now that I am being forbidden by "helpful" computer from
logging in as root, I wish the create user screen you get
during the first boot following install had an advanced
button that would bring up the system-config-users app so
I could create the user with a manually specified UID
(since I'll be accessing lots of files created by that
user on previous fedora versions, I like to keep the UID
the same).

Previously I could just skip the create user step and
login as root to create the initial user.

Uff, I thought that English language had commas :S This e-mail has left me breathless.

Anyway, I agree with Tom, I use to workaround that creating an initial fake user, logging with him and then creating my real user with my real UID.
