Not on the installer iso for i686 2008.1 But I think another poster has posted the answer >From Renato P: > Switch to another VTTY (Ctrl+Atl+F1 for instance), 'passwd', specify > the desired password, switch to Xorg again (Ctrl+Alt+F7 if I am not > wrong), 'su' and that's it. I haven't actually tried it, I just went to the installer for x86 2008.1 which doesn't have that problem. But let me apologize and say I see now what I did wrong. What I was calling an installer for i686-2008.1beta was actually the liveCD which is different. The installer for x86 2008.1 has not such problem and I suspect the installer for i686-2008.1 doesn't either. Far as the live cd goes: It still needs to be made clear how to get to root right in the dialog during startup not on some webpage. -- [email protected] mailing list
