This is why the installer requires a password too. (I thought someone else reported the bug, but I can't find it) So that'd be a bug somewhere in the stack -- not quite sure how the livecds are supposed to handle this. (cc'ing Coolo since he might know about how this works) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

As I didn't change anything, perhaps su was broken in m2. Hard to say. let me know if you can reproduce the su problem with later milestones. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
