         : Action to Take : Enter a nice simple root password. Nothing fancy nor obvious.


    I have seen really bad things happen to people that get fancy here. Just stay away from the numeric keypad on your keyboard and stick with basic characters, uppercase and lowercase as well as digits.  You can change this root password later after the whole operating system is installed.  There is nothing worse than going through a full install and then once you boot you are locked out because you accidentally entered a control character or some other mistake here, twice.  No joke, it happens.
