It would be nice, if a password generator would be installed on the installation CD.

This would make it possible for people, who are completely new to Linux or Arch Linux and install Linux for the first time, or who want to encrypt their harddisk for the first time with e.g. dm-crypt/LUKS, to generate long and secure passwords during the installation.

I'd prefer pwgen from extra. It's a nice, small and easy to use CLI password generator.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  Keep it simple. Users should be capable of coming up with a password themself.
