Fedora23 workstation install

[Jude DaShiell]

There is no such widget in fedora installer so far as I know.  What 
repeatedly happens on both fedora23workstation-x86-64 and 
fedora24workstation-x86-64-beta is I enter a password for root then I 
can hit enter or tab and enter the same password for confirmation and 
then hit the _done button and am repeatedly told root password not set 
user account will not be created.  The downloaded beta version was from 
bittorrent and Fedora23 was through wget since I couldn't find a torrent 
for that iso.

If the fedora spins ever include the orca dependency stack, and if those 
install better than workstation, I'll be able to run orca on kde and 
start testing jovie and kaccessible but there doesn't appear to be any 
interest in that by spin developers.

I thought in light of the difficulties that prompted this thread Fedora 
had length and character requirements for root passwords like navy 
passwords used to be 14 characters long and you had to have two upper 
two lower two numbers and two symbols in them.
