Re: states: family, personal (aka mono-user)

hmm.. no.. that would completely fork over ppl who don't read directions 
and don't know what single-user mode is.  If root's password is still 
disabled, and arklinux's password is still disabled, and no other users 
exist, and we turn off the console autologin for arklinux.... then we 
end up losing people because they don't come talk to us.. and get 
frustrated and pissed cause they have to reinstall cause they can't 
access their system.. generally bad news. (that's not to say it won't 
still happen even with arklinux autologin on console..  ppl who don't 
look for help are going to have problems anyhow.. but at least for ppl 
who ARE asking for help, it keeps things simple)
