I have a little problem with my DSL system. At startup the OS asks for login and password, but I would like the system to not ask these and start so that user does not need to do anything until the GUI loads. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

I have opposite problem. =D
I need to make my server to ask it when logging locally...
I run my DSL from CD and settings are stored to USB stick.

But in your case you could add a line to the end of your /opt/bootlocal.sh
Code Sample
su - dsl


then it _should_ log user dsl in automatically.

I think your 2 scenarios are a bit different.

Akula's probably used the 'traditional' hd-install script which sets up the login page for you, while Zucca is using a frugal.

Not sure about the trad hd-install, bit you could edit the startup scripts that contain the auth prompt.

For a frugal (to have the passworded stuff), you can boot with 'dsl secure'.  This will also encrypt your backup.tar.gz afaik.

At first glance I thought they both needed the other's /etc/inittab . The single-user + auto X vs. multi-user-traditional installation selection installs two different inittabs. The difference is merely the  last few lines, respawning getty vs. bash --login with redirection.  :)
