Bug Description
At first I thought I just fat-fingered the password during my intrepid alternate install, however I went through the entire install again and it seems that the username and password are not remembered. As this bug hasn't been reported yet, I have to believe that this occurs due to a characteristic of the login credentials that I'm choosing. I am making my username 'ps3' and my password 'ps3'. I do recall some Ubuntu releases complaining that my password had to be 6 characters minimum, but this one ( and Feisty for i386 ) allowed it so I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. I wonder if it is randomly generating a password for me without warning.
I haven't raised a bug with psubuntu before so please let me know what other detail you need to escallate this. I have an 80gb ps3 and used the 8.10 alternate ppc install cd from cdimage.ubuntu.com. I am going to re-install again and choose a longer username and password to verify my theory. Stay tuned
