HD Install :: Booting into X Windows
With a hard drive install, is there any way to boot straight into X Windows and be prompted for a GUI login?
Or, if that's not possible, how do I have the system boot straight into X Windows, like booting off the CD does?
Thanks,
UNi
The hard drive installer script prompts for multiuser (y/n)
Saying no will boot in X as user dsl just as the CD does.
For a x login manager, you can try xdm.
If you want to boot directly into X without the console login screen and without reinstalling, you can change /etc/inittab to bash lines (instead of getty's). See mikshaw's post on this.
Thanks, I got it.
