Fwd: Re: 15.2 root password
by Felix Miata 03 Mar '21

I agree the option for user's and root's password to be the same should require an affirmative action at installation, not deselecting what should be an *option* resulting in the root user creation page being skipped. I never noticed this before, because as long as it's been an option to skip user creation, it's been the path forward for me. :) -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: 15.2 root password Date: Mon, 1 Mar 2021 13:41:20 -0500 From: Patrick Shanahan Organization: Ptilopteri in Pandemonium To: users(a)lists.opensuse.org * Dave Howorth [03-01-21 12:44]: > On Mon, 1 Mar 2021 15:54:08 +0100 > "Carlos E.
