Hiya,

I'm more curious than anything, not seen what the original software
looks like and provides, so I was going to shove a disk in and look.

The reason I need the root password is because when I boot the CD on a
virtual server (Parallels on OSX) it does not pass the requirements
check for a supported NIC, what I want to do is switch to another
console (alt-f5), log in as root (for which I need the password) and
then see if I can lod a module for the emulated Realtek NIC, and if
that works then I can restart the restore process.

Any clues ?  Or tips ?

Thanks

Mark
