           Summary: Confirm::MustBeRoot() does not work in 1st stage of
                    installation
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Beta 2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: YaST2
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: kmachalkova@xxxxxxxxxx
         QAContact: jsrain@xxxxxxxxxx
          Found By: ---


MustBeRoot() function from Confirm.ycp fails in 1st stage of installation since
there is no /usr/bin/id in inst-sys, hence no way to determine UID of the user.

The function should assume we have root privileges in 1st stage by default and
return true. Moreover, some checking whether /usr/bin/id actually exists and is
executable could be added as well.
