First Boot 0.2

Second stage of the first boot module is going slower than planned, I have a code implimented and trying to get in operational with no success as of yet.

Contacted Martin Gracik for some help in getting the code working when firstboot is called. Just waiting for him to contact me back.

The first file is the code that I retreived out of the package: "system-config-rootpassword-1.99.6-3.fc15.src.rpm"
you can download the package "Here"

The first file has been taken out of that package and I am working on debugging in to work properly this is the file: rootpassword.py

The second file I am working on is the file that I sniped from some previous written code, having problems getting this code to work as though it seems there are no syntax errors in the code after tweeking it for hours. I cannot get the module to load when I call firstboot. Here is the file rootpass.py

First Boot .01

I'm working on the root password part for first boot. Grabbed the code that I found from thie website http://markmail.org/message/gpn74k5xglelb2fj#query:+page:1+mid:gpn74k5xglelb2fj+state:results which contains the code that is to be placed in the file rootpass.py in /usr/share/firstboot/modules.

I am currently testing the code and making it operational through testing in on my own fedora 15.  Working on getting it to call the script when the firstboot is ran and make sure that it is operational.

I will be contacting Martin Gracik is the main guy that works/controls the first boot and this module for the root password. Hopefully he can help me with any problems or bugs that I may have regarding this module.
