Auto login and Auto run

Post#1 by Jack » 08 Aug 2016, 23:49

Can I add a cheat code to auto login and auto run (slim) on text mode? This something I like to try if it can be done.

Code: Select all

LABEL text
MENU LABEL Text mode
KERNEL vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=initrd.xz changes=EXIT:/porteus/porteussave.dat 3
rem APPEND initrd=initrd.xz 3
TEXT HELP
    Run Porteus in text mode and
    start the command prompt only
ENDTEXT
I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

This sounds to me like booting into runlevel 4 (GUI) and not text mode. There are ways to autologin when booting into text mode. But as soon as you run slim you are booting into a GUI. You might as well just remove the 3 from the cheatcode and it will automatically run slim.

Wear your underpants on the outside and put on a cape.
