Testing f22

• NOTE as of anaconda 22.17-1 only strong passwords can be used.(20150201)

"A security problem was recognized because the ssh daemon is enabled by default on Fedora systems: with a weak root password, a remote attacker might easily obtain unlimited access."

• testing results (20150201):

setenforce 0 needed to access network. Installer will fail if no networking is working.

source: http://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2014/06/19/psa-fedora-21-networkmanager-and-dnf/ The"... core of NetworkManager smaller and more flexible by splitting out Wi-Fi support into the NetworkManager-wifi package. If you don’t have or don’t use Wi-Fi on your system, you don’t need to install stuff for it and you can save some disk space and RAM. If you suddenly find yourself without Wi-Fi, find a wired network connection and:"

dnf install NetworkManager-wifi
systemctl restart NetworkManager
