well, maybe we need a livecd specific theme? I guess that's the easiest
way to fix this problem.
I disagree; our current theme should be able to cope just nicely with
this. If you think about it what Will is complaining about it's just as
true in the non-livecd use case. The only difference probably being that
livecd users never seen a Linux system before - and that I don't even
buy. We should solve this for both.
For the livecd case, it might even be nice to just take whatever
username the user enters and create the user, give them sudo access,
etc.
I think that's a bit over the top... FWIW, since the root password is
blank consolehelper just works without asking for the root password.
If we do that then we'll need to hide Sessions completely
because
Sessions would provide overlapping and conflicting functionality.
It's already hidden well enough I think.
