Problems during clean install

1. During setup, would not accept password less than 10 characters. A
warning instead of a refusal would be nice. Due to 'paranoid' security
selection?

2. Could not adduser. Went directly directly from previous screen/option
to an error, something like 'unacceptable something in array'. I'll redo
it and write the error message down next time.

3. Video setup detected my G400 32meg fine and showed the screen with
the 'Is this working?' buttons and timer, but would not startx later.
Tried XFdrak, selected 800 w/16 and 32bits. Got screen with X cursor but
hung with error "xlib: invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key".

4. Using mc, on each exit message is "rm: remove
'/root/.mc~/tmp/mc-410'?" or some other number.

5. At login, I could not login as root. Because of the adduser problem I
used single mode, added a user, even changed root password, but still
had to su root to get root. As user I was very limited in what files I
could do, much more so than with 6.1. Part of 'paranoid' security level
from setup?
