Greg,
After my 7.1 upgrade the login gui is no longer usable because it will
not scroll. However, if you are using a remote connection all you need
to do is to run 'initial-setup' and accept the license agreement.
However, be careful. The first time I activated 'inital-setup' I
elected not to answer the question "yes" and the machine went in to a
shutdown and then reboot. At this point, I wish I had not upgraded to
7.1
