Did anything happen with producing a useful Getting Started guide yet?
We're still haemorrhaging potential community members ...
23:50:23 <alok___> Hi! I am testing out Crowbar and have downloaded
the Crowbar Grizzly 1.6 Alpha iso from crowbar.zehicle.com
Question: what is the default user/password? Also, where do
I find instructions on getting started? The Newbie guide on
the wiki doesn't offer much help.
23:54:01 <alok___> Help?
