Hi,
I would like to add more fields in the login process - like First Name, Last Name, Address, City, State, etc. Is that possible? I have not been able to search and find anything!

Yup, looking for same thing
I was looking for exactly the same thing. I'm currently using a Joomla site, and have started integrating google maps with it - but unless I can get more fields in the user profile, it'll be no good to me. Any workaround ideas appreciated.
And another thing! I've hacked Joomla so there are two types of user: individuals and projects. They share some fields, but have fields specific to them as well. Any thoughts on if Drupal might be capable of this relatively easily would also be much appreciated.
I think I found it
http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/profile
good luck
Drupal core comes with the
Drupal core comes with the profile.module to do this. Alternative packages in the contrib area include usernodes and nodeprofile modules.

Profile is good...
but if you want to do anything with that data, use CiviCRM and learn how to create (multiple) custom profiles for your site: http://civicrm.org
It works with 4.6, 4.7, and 5.0
CCk & Views
For this purpose, I make use of the CCK module.
I create what i consider a "exstensible userProfile" node type.
exenstible because :
* drop-down select fields can possibly contain values deriving from a view (views module)
* I can search and index this new content type.
* This content type can be included in a view for other uses....like grouping a user with a club.
If i could use cck fields (that reference values from a view) in the userProfile module....I wouldn't need to create my custom node type.
No i havent overlooked these modules :
* http://drupal.org/project/nodeprofile
is only for v4.7 which unfortunate, since this is exactly what i need.
* userNodes
recently a v5 module has been made, i shall check this out but im not sure if uses CCk....
