when we speak about the livecd we must differentiate between the pure
post-processing and the actual targets using it.

The mechanism how to gain root priveledges might actually differ from
target to target.

I just changes the pure livecd processing to implant a empty root password,
as sudo is not available in all the more compact livecds ...

The desktop target, which I plan to ship as forced LiveCD from 7.0 onwards
then could instead not use an empty password but preconfigure sudo as
usual. But again this depends on the target and the enabled packages.

Tobias also had a good idea in IRC for the admin targeting minimal versions,
such as T-Rescue: Generate a random password and print it along the
welcome issue ...

Yours,
