Title:
  New user account creation text need not talk about root

Status in user-setup package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In the D-I mode of Dapper installation,  the user creation screen
  contains text that attempts to solve the "where is my root password"
  problem. But most new users at this point don't know about "root", and
  we have made a good effort to eliminate this problem when people would
  run into it, which is at the console prompt. So I would prefer to remove
  this text during the install.

  Here is suggested text for this screen:

  "Please enter your full name. We will create an account for you, and it
  will be the default administrative account for this system. You can
  create additional accounts on this machine for family and friends after
  the installation is complete."

   affects /distros/ubuntu
