Bug Description
In the installation, the user is asked to create an username. The installation program should not allow 'root' as username.
I had a problem yesterday with an user because of this. After installation, he could not login (as root, of course) because gdm locks root login by default. I had to instruct him to switch to terminal, create a normal user account, add this account to admin group and back to gdm to login into gnome.
