Hello,

I'm wondering if it's possible (and if so, how) to add a log in password prompt to DSL. I'm running it installed on my laptops hard drive. How hard would that be to set up?

Linux and DSL newbie,

During install you are prompted if you want multiple user access.
This could suggest a reinstall.

Alternatively you could serach the web for commandline syntax to adduser or type 'man adduser' in the terminal. Then triral and error from there.

I'd like to know if that could be possible with "Live CD and USB stick cituation"?

This is for LiveCD/Frugal, but the same concept applies to uncompressed harddrive install
