> But nevertheless, we can try to solve your problem
it is not my problem, it is a new user problem…
i see that someone (i suspect you, thank you) has begun by recently
adding the bare minimum to the SOAD and openSUSE 11.1 entries on this
page: http://en.opensuse.org/Live_CD
BRAVO!!
but, i do wonder which of the other’s listed there also require the
same, or different id/pass…
and, i freely acknowledge that if we could tattoo the id/pass on the
back of all potential users hands, they STILL couldn’t find
it…however here is an example:
http://en.opensuse.org/Education/Live/Install
in this live install help, scroll down to the fifth screen
shot…which shows a dialog saying “The requested action needs further
authentication…Please enter the root password to continue.” and a
blank to type in the root password…
yes, there is helpful information written on the install web page
saying “Password is empty, just hit ‘Continue’”…which is perfect
information, just NOT where the user will need it…the new user who
has not seen that web page will get to that install dialog without a
clue…
why not give a clue? change the dialog from “Please enter the root
password to continue” to “The default root password is empty, so just
hit ‘Continue’”
then, at least a user who can read can get past that section…
(and it is easier than paying for all those tattoos on the backs of
hands of all mankind across the planet:-)
