HD Install :: Frugal install on HD

OOOH...found the script and ran it from a terminal. It says that it only works reliably on hda, and my hard drive was detected as hdb1.

Success...it saw the CDRom as the first IDE device...no big deal.

and now for my next question...

Anyhow, after getting the frugal install finished up, I am prompted to configure X every time the box starts up. Also, I'd like to have the root password be something I know when it starts up, so I can actually use the SSH daemon (unless there's some other way to SSH in). I can't find a default root password anywhere...

Can I just edit some scripts to get X to quit popping up the config screens?

Nevermind! Should've searched. Thought I did yesterday, but didn't!
