An amazing discovery

I know a lot of people like to have a graphical login rather than having to type startx each time you log in.  I'm not locked in to the idea myself, but just so people will know how it's done, here are the steps.

Login as root (of course) and edit /etc/inittab.  Look for the following line
id:3:initdefault:
and change it to read
id:5:initdefault:

Next time you reboot you will get one ugly and almost useless graphical login, so I'd recommend the following change as well
x:5:respawn:/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon
change to
x:5:respawn:/opt/gnome/bin/gdm -nodaemon

This is a much better looking and useful login screen.

Have fun

Re: An amazing discovery

In which case, I also assume you could also change it to this:

x:5:respawn:/opt/kde/bin/kdm -nodaemon

if you like the look of KDE a bit better
