Say what?
Getting logged in as root in any of the -buntus usually requires you to do an end run around their goofie SUDO system. They don't even allow root logins.
Well, I installed the 6.10 RC 3-4 days ago and was most disturbed to find that I was logged on only as root. I wasn't even given the chance to create a user during the installation. It is quite possible that something went wrong during the installation and some installation sections were skipped. In fact this is exactly what happened when I installed SUSE 10.2 Beta 1 in the early hours of this morning but when I reinstalled it a short while ago all the skipped bits were not skipped this 'round and I am now logged on a normal user.
