[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk kickstart setup

[Jonathan DeHaan]

Lee,

There is no default root password. All Red Hat/Centos/Fedora 
distributions ask for a root password during install, and do not permit 
a blank root password. By setting the root password in the kickstart, 
you are then no longer required to provide one during the install. From 
a certain perspective, Spacewalk is giving you the opportunity to set 
the default root password in the kickstart, but for security reasons 
there is not a built-in default.

You could save a few keystrokes by cloning your kickstart, which will 
keep the root password from the original kickstart, but you need an 
original to start with for that to be helpful.
