Lee,

There is no default root password. All Red Hat/Centos/Fedora distributions ask for a root password during install, and do not permit a blank root password. By setting the root password in the kickstart, you are then no longer required to provide one during the install. From a certain perspective, Spacewalk is giving you the opportunity to set the default root password in the kickstart, but for security reasons there is not a built-in default.

You could save a few keystrokes by cloning your kickstart, which will keep the root password from the original kickstart, but you need an original to start with for that to be helpful.

Hi

When I create a new kickstart in spacewalk, it asks for a root password
for that kickstart, to be set. Is there away of having a default root
password, that is set automatically without having to enter it.

When you click the finish button it doesn't set a 'default' root password?
