=== Create User ===
Here you will be able to configure a regular user-- enter the user name and an easy-to-remember but hard-to-guess password. There is an option to add this user to the administrators group; it is recommended that you select that option (which will enable the "sudo" command). To create/change/delete users at a later time, use the "Users and Groups" graphical tool or the useradd/usermod/userdel commands.

=== Root User ===
This screen is used to set the root password. This is the master administration password for your system; choose a password that is easy for you to remember but hard for other people to guess, and which is not based on a dictionary word. (If you weren't running this Firstboot procedure, the default root password would be "raspberrypi").

=== Date and Time ===
This used to decide whether screen lets you would like set the date and time, or to synchronize the date and time over the network. The Raspberry Pi does not have a battery-powered clock, so it loses track of the time when the power is turned off. Pidora has been set up so that when the system boots, the clock is not set earlier than it was when Pidora was last running. If your Pi will usually be connected to the Internet, enable the network time synchronization option.

After the last Firstboot screen, the system will restart to enable the options you have selected. If you are resizing the root filesystem, Pidora may be a bit slower than usual for a few minutes while the resize is performed.
When the login display appears, enter (or select) your user name and enter your password to begin using Pidora.
