There isn't a /root/.bash_profile, or any files in /root, by default. Files are created there by certain applications in some situations,  but i don't think .bash_profile is one of them.

There is a /.bash_profile file, which might be what your talking about. This file does not start x, however. It switches the root user to user dsl when root logs it. You are right that it should still be modified in a situation like the one we're talking about, but that issue was already addressed in the link posted above.

?? No I am talking about /root/.bash_profile, it was there by default and also nearly all other files that are in /home/dsl.. I guess hd install is way different..

You're probably right.  I was looking at /KNOPPIX/root, which is empty, so I assumed /root would also be empty until an application creates files there.  I've never used a hd install to say what might be put there during the installation.
