I was under the impression it was supposed to do that.

The workstation install sets up the initial user at the first boot of the installed system.

From what documentation I could find,
root gets its password at install time and the
intial user is optional.

That said, I'll try it.

I tried it.
It asked for an intial user, but no root password.
Also, I was looking at gshadow rather than shadow.
shadow contains dots and asterisks for passwords.
I couldn't su to root, but I could sudo sh.

There are other problems.
I seem to have the same screen resolution as I did when installing.
I do not know the actual resolution.
xwininfo is not present.
xrdb hangs.
The resolution is not good.

It might be twelve hours or more
before I can get back to this computer.
