I'm not complaining, I'm just mentioning a problem.
I do not see complaining to be something bad.
It maybe because most people do not even know that SuSE configured sudo be default in a nonsecure way and didn't even look at it. The default is an "easy" default.
I don't know if all people who run the script only run SUSE. I have heard from people running it on Debian and on Mandrake as well.
Due to the fact that you might need to enter you rootpassword twice, I might be willing to let it be run as root.
The other possibility would be to think what config line(s) could be set up in the sudoers file so that the script could run as "user". It might be possible. I haven't looked it up because first I would have to study the script and find out what exact commands does it need, and because it was faster for me to simply "su" and run it as root.
That would only complcate things. I am not going to write a script that changes sudoers in any way. You would need to run that as root, making the fact that you later can run it as user ineffective. I would like to run things as user on a standard system. There could have been a way out with the mounting. However now there is something else added, so perhaps it is now better to run it as root. That would need some rewriting, because the iso and other files must be owned by a user, I think. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.
