[AuckLUG] CentOS

[Justin Cook]

During boot the console login prompt comes up for a second then the 
server locks itself. With an xwindows dialog, funnily enough. We opted 
not to install xwindows at all. We're got the usual Gnome 
locked-workstation panel with a large analogue clock on it.

As I mentioned in the first post the Centos installer doesn't seem to 
give you an opportunity to set up user accounts like Fedora does. Pretty 
strange seeing as they're almost the same thing.
