The problem is definitely there. I've changed the boot floppy so that for novice installation it *demands* that you set the root password, and it's this boot floppy that I'll put on the CDROM, but the Express/Custom installation modes still leave you room to exit the installation without setting the root password and hanging yourself. Yes, failing to set the root password will indeed leave you unable to log in. This was one last-minute intro into 2.1.1 which I very much regret. :( Jordan
