Description Stefan Dirsch 2005-09-07 07:47:29 UTC 
How to reproduce:

- install via vnc (boot param: vnc=1)
- enter a password with length < 8 character

  --> You don't get a warning <---

System is trying to start ...

[...]
Password to short
*** Fatal Error occured, process stopped ***
[...]

Installation needs to be done completely again. IMHO at least it should be
mentioned in the password dialog, that the minimum length for the password 
is 8 characters.

I guess there's nothing wrong with that, but 84750 seems to be "novellonly" - I can't access it.

Can you please make #84750 a public bug?

Better now.

BTW, if you write 'bug' before a bug number, bugzilla makes a nice link
of it. :-)
