I actually believe that we should take care that the configuration for cd's |
| 15 |
(with the special configuration and privileges (like no login)) is not just |

taken over to hd installs. It should be ensured that users can not by mistake |
| 17 |
throw away their security (and only with difficulties by intent) |

ps. I don't want an advice like "if you want no passwd, just specify cdboot as |

kernel parameter" to float around on the forums |
