				| System wide root run scripts use /opt/bootlocal.sh User run non-X scripts use /home/dsl/.profile ( of course you could use sudo)
 User run X scripts use /home/dsl/.xinitrc  (again you could also use sudo here too)

				| ahh, great to learn about .profile, I was looking for such. Instead, I clumsily placed non-X stuff in .xinirc. 
 Edit: I found no .profile. I created one in /home/dsl/, but that seems to have no effect. (back to .initrc)
 
 
 Thanks,
 Jörg

				| When is this invoked? I hope not every time a bash is started, like .bashrc or such. The content confuses me, it checks for runlevel and some ssh stuff, only then does startx. I guess this is to determine a successful boot. Should we place our stuff inside the if's, too?
