I seem to believe that it never gave me the option to create a user account.
Can I do it now with out another 6 hour install?

Subject: Re: Installing Fedora 12
I've downloaded the Fedora 12 desktop edition and I've
installed it now
three times on a U2 server of ours. Every time after the reboot of the
newly
installed system, I get the login screen. The first time when I installed,
I
used a password that I always use as a default, at least I thought, I
wasn't
100% sure. I typed in "root" with out the quotes and type in the default
password that I always use. "Authentication Failed" and doesn't log on.
What am I doing wrong?

By default these days X does not allow root login. If you switch over to
a terminal console (e.g. Alt-F2) and try that it should work just fine.
Did you try to create a user account and login with that during the
installation? Once you get the install finish the root/GUI login
restriction can be disabled if you desire.
