Interesting.  It made me a regular user account, but I messed with its
head and gave my normal user account name for its 'secondary root'
account.  It shouldn't have accepted that, but it did.  So the installer
definitely needs some work.  OTOH, I'm using it at the moment and so far
it works better than FC3 did.  FYI, by 'better' I mean that Evo talks to
our Exchange server without crashing constantly.  I do wish they had
decent KDE packages, but Gnome works OK I guess.
