is this a "personal" snapshot?


or a remaster where /home was included in the remaster?

Ok, remaster when saving /home will skip user account creation at install time, because the installer assumes you want the user account stored in the remaster.

I suggest just making a new user on the installed system with mx-user-manager. then log in to the new user and delete the demo account with mx-user-manager.

I found that both users are available in the login window of a snapshot of my hard disk install.

Click on the tab to select other user: mine shows
demo & Richard
You may also need to turn off autoboot in Mx-boot-options.

Note: this may have worked for me because I had already created another user? Will have to try it again on a new install.
