I have watched this thread since the beginning and I can no longer keep my peace. A knowledgeable Linux user would know how to change this default. Or figure out how to change. I know how and I am certainly not on the level of many here. A 'not so knowledgeable Linux user' would use the 'enter Roots password' windows to preform these tasks. Any user that can not do either of these things *does not* have any business logging in as root in a GUI. Period. Or do you want Fedora 8 to be like Windows? Where 'run as root' is the default for the 'not so knowledgeable Windows user'? You want them to be able to shoot themselves in the foot? I hope not. Want to use Linux, be a Linux Geek, so to speak? Learn a little more about it first. More than downloading an ISO and burning it it Windows. I did that years ago. How about you? -- David
