Thumbs down Arch Linux Help needed !

Hi all
Here is a story what I did ..I downloaded the I686 core pack from here http://www.archlinux.org/download/ Now I burnt in CD and booted trough it .. I went to installation screen by typing /arch/setup now after that I did set file system .. I set my /dev/sda4 as swap and /dev/sda7 as / After that it ask me do set a root partition I skip that ? Am I doiing wrong in that step ? After that I choose packages..

Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0dd6c6bd

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1        3187    25599546    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2            3188        8287    40965750    f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda3            8288        9607    10602900   83  Linux
/dev/sda4            9608        9729      979965   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda5            4406        5737    10699290    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda6            5738        8287    20482843+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda7            3188        4405     9783522   83  Linux

Partition table entries are not in disk order
Note: I don't have Windows Installed Only Arch and Ubuntu ...
I use CD as primary installation and it mount my CD rom.. I select only Core/Base package.. and install it ..The next step is to install Grub it did install Grub but my Ubuntu grub appears when I rebooot.. Thats not a big deal I edited my Ubuntu Grub list and added Arch Entry .. Ok I set up my system and enter root password but there is no option to set up User Account . .I reboot as everything is done and boot through Hard Diskk..

Everything went fine for few seconds after a screen appears and ask to enter Myhost login .. But I haven't set any user account.. What I am doing wrong please let me know. .I am dying to use Arch with KDE mod

Thanks for Helping

Default Re: Arch Linux Help needed !

^^ The root account has been created. At the login type root as user name and password as the password you gave during setup. After logging in as root, create a new account by
Code:
 useradd <username> -p <password>
logout and login
