I made a mistake and installed DS Linux to my hard drive as "single" user. Now when I boot, there is no log in screen, it just boots to a session for the user, dsl. The dsl user does not have root privileges and I have to sudo su from a terminal to get any serious work done.

I would much prefer to have a choice at boot time to log in as user, dsl or as user, root.

Can someone help me change the boot process to multi user?

Thanks, jimbo

I think you can switch /etc/inittab with /etc/inittab.multi
If you haven't set up paswords you'll probably need to do that before restarting.

If you're automatically being logged in as dsl, like with a liveCD, there may additional work to do.
