I'm hoping to find out how Porteus manages the following since it would be ideal if the alternatives (root, puppy, xdm) could be chosen by boot cheat codes:saintless wrote:Terry, I think to make DebianDog autologin as root without using XDM by default.
From Portues FAQ:
From:As of Version 1.0, Porteus will log you in as a non-root user called 'guest' by default. This is done to increase the security of your system. If you would like to boot into KDE, XFCE or LXDE as the root user, just use the 'login=root' cheatcode.

login=user_name
... Lets you specify the name of the user (could be also 'root')
which will be autologged into GUI session.
If username is not provided then booting stops on the lxdm/kdm
login screen.
