23. New local user. You will want to add at least one user account, as prompted, for your
computer. Right now, you have only the root user account set up for use on a standalone
machine. Using that account for e-mail, Web browsing, or other common tasks is
considered bad security practice. So you should add at least one user account for nonadministrative
use of your computer. Add your full name; a short, one-word login
name; and a password to protect that account.
If you want to have this user automatically logged in on the system whenever you restart,
leave the Automatic Login check box selected. Otherwise, de-select it to see a standard
login prompt whenever you boot your system. You can also check the Receive System
Mail check box to ensure that the user account you have just created automatically receives
a copy of any mail sent to the root user on your system, which is often sent by administrative
applications. To proceed, click Next.
When you are done, YaST writes the system configuration information to your computer.
It then displays the Release Notes for your current version of openSUSE. Click Next to
continue.
24. Hardware configuration.
