I have been working to fix a few annoyances, and big problems with the live image. George's bug is critical. So I have been rebuilding and testing before I release the next ISO.

OEM install is my priority for the RC testing ISOs. Beta will be just our own in-house testing.... though any user can in fact add their own user and remove torios without problem.

This could be used from the mini boot splash... you can add it in as a kernel parameter. It would also work for the Ubiquity/UbiquityLight installers... however I do not have the time to research this right now... there has been a lot to learn about session management. building the equivalent of a DE is quite the research project :) > -o- > > What do *you* need?
