Seriously now? All my attempts at humor set aside? :-) You had said the you downloaded and 'ran' (whatever) the KDE Live-CD. I did that this time, I had not done it before, and it did not ask me for a password. I did it just before I posted so that I might see your problem. The Live-CD Kde for Fedora 11 did *not* ask *me* for a password at any time. I had already tried the GNOME Live-CD and it did/not do the same. I really have no idea why you had your problem. Life is too short to get so upset about such little things friend. Trust me. Lighten up and you will live longer. So I gather then that you have solved this problem then? Or not? Points of interest for you to note. If / When you have a problem.. ask for help with clear examples. And answer questions as best as you can. Asking for clarification of their questions so that you can answer better. Rants and screams tend to turn people off and turn people away. Most especially those that know the most and have the answers to your questions. They do not care to, not have to, deal with rants and raves. Think. Flies. Honey. Vinegar. Have a great day? Or evening. -- David -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
