Is the symlink /usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.17-* setup correctly?

The passwords are automatically scrambled and ssh is off by default on
the livecds. Perhaps you are also behind NAT. Anyhow, unless you use a
rotten rsync server (I believe one or two have at one time or another
been cracked into) in combination with a rotten mirror, or reset the
root password to something really weak and run sshd, the networked
install should be pretty safe.
