Wanna add password protection to your full install without installing a login manager? It's easy!
This tutorial assumes you already have grub installed.
Go to /boot/grub and rename menu.lst to menu-main.lst
Create a new menu.lst in the same folder (the "l" in "lst" is a lower-case L). Copy in this text:
Code: Select all
hiddenmenu
timeout 0
default 0
fallback 1 2 3
title "Enter password"
password yourpassword
configfile (hd0,5)/boot/grub/menu-main.lst
title "Enter password"
password yourpassword
configfile (hd0,5)/boot/grub/menu-main.lst
title "Enter password"
password yourpassword
configfile (hd0,5)/boot/grub/menu-main.lst
title "Three times password failed"
halt
That's it!
