Summary	0004531: Kali Rolling prompts the creation of a user account after Root password prompt upon installation
Description	I download the kali linux image from: https://archive.kali.org/kali-daily-images/ From there I started my installation from the iso on a virtual machine; however after I passed the Root password creation I was prompted to supply a username I’m confused from this as this was never present in previous versions of Kali Linux Until near 2018.1 releases on daily images.
Steps To Reproduce	Boot up the iso in a Virtual machine platform (I use VMware Workstation 14 PRO) Get pass all the prompts until after the user root password creation prompt. Watch as it prompts you for an alternate username.
Additional Information	This was never present in previous versions of Kali Linux Until near and after 2018.1 releases on daily images. The problem was not present in images from https://www.kali.org/downloads/ only in https://archive.kali.org/kali-daily-images/
