Gnome Initial Setup

• Screenshots of gnome3 initial setup with explanatory text
• Be sure to enter both root and user in anaconda

Gnome-initial-setup requires a stornger password than anaconda does.

• This is important if you plan to use multiple Desktop Environments (DE) you will end up with 2 Users once you run the 2nd DE. ie gnome3 and KDE

If you do not setup the user name and password in anaconda G-I-S will run in anaconda and repeat I-S when you boot the second DE

Bug in G-I-S and I-S (Initial-setup)
