If you try to save the kickstart file, and it shows the error dlg "Please select a root password," it should take you to that notebook page and put the cursor in the text field like the showDialog function in install.py.
I really thought I fixed this a long time ago. I'll take another look.
Um, it already does this. Can you double check me on this, because it really looks like it already works to me.
Please reopen if you can reproduce with redhat-config-kickstart from 8.0. I cannot reproduce this behavior with either that version or from cvs.
