expanding the image

I did the first step in the expanding image section, but when I boot into gparted, I get a kernel panic. --T.achim

Login using ssh without password

I got trouble login to XO using putty. So I change the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file to make the ssh server allow empty password

I've uncomment this

PermitEmptyPasswords no

and change to this

PermitEmptyPasswords yes
