Potentially a dangerous option IMO, but it wasn't checked when I looked, nor when I saved & quit it. However, there is 3 things we need to bz about the installer. 1. It did NOT setup a root account at all, and 2. it should add the initial user to the sudoers file, because without that you can't add any other users, nor can you edit anything to change the situation. My solution was to reboot into single mode and take care of all that, but why should we have to jump through a hoop a new bee has no clue is even there? 3. It also did not setup a working non-dhcp network, it didn't even ask me about networking. When I looked at ifcfg-eth0, the ONBOOT=no was still there, even after I'd run system-config-network to set all the local addresses it needs to work here. So there are 3 separate "should have done its" right there. I haven't tried to do anything fauncy as its an 8 year old box with a $13 ati rage based video card. And not fancy enough to do that stuff anyway. But other than the above, everything I ran, ran slow but well. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
