Re: how to avoid creating that first user during setup?

unless I missed it, that doc does not provide an answer for me. If you
simply looked at the subject of my post and wanted to tell me not to use the
local admin account then 1) i'm glad you are sharing that kind of important
information for the well being of all but 2) you need to actually read my
post. I have no intentions of using the local admin account as my user
account. The machine is going to be a domain member and only domain user
accounts will be used. In other words, I don't need to create any more local
accounts so I want to skip it. And I was wondering if that could be done
during the interactive setup routine rather than by using an unattended
setup file.

let me know if I missed a link or something from that link you gave, or if
you did not read my post give it a read and let me know if you have any info
on it...

thanks for the reply.
