In the earlier versions of the Slackware live cd (now, I believe it's called slax), there used to be a root and guest account which required no password. I know I can set my password to nothing, but, the system still prompts for one and I have to press enter. How did the slackware folks do it. Also, how successful am I likely to be trying to build slax with a 2.6 kernel with Speakup enabled since it doesn't look like the maintainer of Slax has done this yet? Thanks!
