Wake up people ! This will break your show. Here is a proof in pictures.
I did a new installation with the Alternative CD. Again the target partition (/dev/sdb1) had an old, existing Ubuntu installation. This installation never asks user-name or password. Beyond that it completed OK. Watch the pictures. http://www.edbl.no/tmp/t2/DSCN1244.JPG http://www.edbl.no/tmp/t2/DSCN1245.JPG http://www.edbl.no/tmp/t2/DSCN1246.JPG http://www.edbl.no/tmp/t2/DSCN1247.JPG http://www.edbl.no/tmp/t2/DSCN1274.JPG http://www.edbl.no/tmp/t2/DSCN1275.JPG http://www.edbl.no/tmp/t2/DSCN1276.JPG http://www.edbl.no/tmp/t2/DSCN1277.JPG (Notice: My internet provider (DHCP) returns numeric hostname.

I select "Setup users and passwords" from the Installation main menu. See the pictures below. I asks "Allow login as root ? " . That's good, BUT IT FORGETS TO QUERY NORMAL USERNAME AND PASSWORD. <---- !! http://www.edbl.no/tmp/t2/DSCN1233.JPG http://www.edbl.no/tmp/t2/DSCN1234.JPG http://www.edbl.no/tmp/t2/DSCN1235.JPG Enjoy !
