FYI
In case there are users trying to install soas-i386-20100916.15.iso to
USB/SD/or Hard Disk
This fixes problem:
liveinst install:
use "whole disk" option (this was 8GB SD)
install completes sucessfully
on reboot from SD end up at gdm "other" prompt; impossible to log in.
(Bug in Anaconda not calling firstboot program)
FIX:
<alt> <ctrl> f5 (terminal)
login root, password useradd (new user name)
passwd (new user password) exit
<alt> <ctrl> f1
login to new user name and password in gdm.
I know that most of you knew this already; but there are quite a number
of novices out here that should have this information.
