Perhaps for sudo, but normal for the script. Just look at all the
different SUSE and SLES names for each and every CD and DVD.
Next the person can choose where to mount to.

I was looking into doing it like mc does, but now that other thiongs need
root, it becomes obsolete.

PUT_KEY_IN_INITRD
Without it, it does not work.

Yes, I use it in the beginning as a test. If you know the password you
pass, if not, you don't. In the beginning of the script there was a lot
that was done before the actual mounting. Best to cut it as soon as
possible.

Well, obviously it asks wether or not you want to run YaST. It is just a
small extra to install stuff that is not available. I probably must also
add a create_package_descr version checker to see that the correct version
is used. Unfortuatly the people at SUSE have not put in the verson number
or another easy way of finding out if -C is available.
That means it will be something like: `grep do_checksums
/usr/bin/create_package_descr` and then see if you get feedback or not and
if not, trell that you need to install a newer version.

Blame SUSE. They made a complex distribution. ;-)

So `su user` it will become.
