Public bug reported: root can be entered as the initial user name in the default Xubuntu 6.06 installer without warning. This might even be a natural choice for users from other distributions (where setting up root first is the standard/recommended procedure). On (X)Ubuntu, where being root is deprecated, though, it will result in a setup that is wrecked from the outset, of course (with settings/privileges being wrong all over the place). Have not tried yet whether this issue still exists on Xubuntu LTS 6.06.1 as well.
