Re: Arch and Slack - What's the difference?

If you used a 7.2 installation ISO, root's password should indeed be blank - you should be able to login as root or "su" to it without providing a password and then execute "passwd".

It seems tpowa added an option to set a root password while installing to newer install ISOs.
