Anyone know of a way to disable autologin with a Frugal install. I have tried made the changes to the inittab and but it in my backup list but according to what I've read on the inittab this won't work because the backup is restored after the main inittab is read.Thanks -Steve Posted by scrap on Sep. 17 2005,02:12
ok... so I figure I need to mount the KNOPPIX image to be able to do this. I have searched on a way to do this but when I boot up under the frugal install it already has a /dev/cloop mount so when I try to mount another one it says that the module is already installed. Is there anyway to mount multiple cloop devices??-Steve Posted by friedgold on Sep. 17 2005,03:21
/dev/cloop0 is already in use since the KNOPPIX file is mounted. You can mount additional cloop files using
I believe up to 8 cloop files can be mounted in this fashion (replacing /dev/cloop1 in the above command with /dev/cloop2, /dev/cloop3, etc). I suggest looking at < this thread > if what you are wanting to do is alter the KNOPPIX file. Posted by mikshaw on Sep. 17 2005,14:32
You can set up a frugal system to disable autologin without remastering. The key is getting the settings in inittab to be re-read after the file is restored. You can do that with the command "telinit q".There's a howto for this (minus the multi-user part) here: < http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....;t=7936 > This is NOT official DSL-supported documentation...it's just something that works for me, and i wanted to share it. |
