And one could restore these manually afterwards.
On my de-demoed K4
Actually, I got PMs from two users, one with a link to a file backup of p4, and one with a backup of p1 and a file backup of p4. It wasn't until just now that I realized that there was no backup of the kernel. Even if a demo kernel isn't different from a main kernel, there's still the possibility that the kernel and the partition ... wouldn't match... but if it's only a file backup instead of a partition backup... Sorry. One more brick wall of ignorance to run into.
Even if that were not a problem, isn't it possible that the demo needs information that's stored in p3?

On my still demoed KT
I let the Kubrick wizard run up to the point where the usbnetwork was enabled, and tried to login as root, but it didn't like the password mario. Is the wizard setup to calculate the password like the web password calculator does? I haven't had the chance to try fiona??? to see if that's the actual password or not. We'll find out after work today.

I hope you realize that I'm asking all these questions just to give you geniuses something new to think about, instead of the normal stuff.
