Broadcom recognized OOTB, which is very nice, so I am posting this wirelessly with no effort. Will install and take a closer look later.

Could not get the installer to come up using the link on the desktop: entered root's pwd and then nothing. Working fine out of the terminal, though: su, "root," and off.

[anticapitalista]

use demo password.

[Jerry3904]

Is that going to be clear to the end user?

[anticapitalista]

If user reads the pop-up instructions.

Edit: Maybe it is best not to prompt for any password once the install icon is pressed.

I was thinking the same thing.

Please - pwd is present working directory - you must mean passwd. :)

[Jerry3904]

Of course it is, but I wasn't writing a bash command, was I?
