Description

I’ve wondered everytime and decided to play safe (because booting from DVD is slooow) by setting a password when doing the profiling step leading to an updated squashfs order, but it seems one doesn’t need root privileges when fetching the boot profile file. Can we please drop a line in release_process.mdwn serving as a reminder there’s no need to set up a password?

Absolutely! Me and intrigeri often push tiny fixes or clarifications like these to the release process without review, so feel free to do so yourself!
