Not on the installer iso for i686 2008.1 |

But I think another poster has posted the answer |

I haven't actually tried it, I just went to the installer for x86 |
17 |
2008.1 which doesn't have that problem. |
18 |
|
19 |
But let me apologize and say I see now what I did wrong. What I was |
20 |
calling an installer for i686-2008.1beta was actually the liveCD which |
21 |
is different. The installer for x86 2008.1 has not such problem and I |
22 |
suspect the installer for i686-2008.1 doesn't either. |
23 |
|
24 |
Far as the live cd goes: |
25 |
It still needs to be made clear how to get to root right in the dialog |
26 |
during startup not on some webpage. |
