Is it possible to auto login as root in text mode?
Note: Used to work in Porteus v1.2 ... can't make it work in v3.1
Cheers John

Another option is to edit /etc/inittab
Code: Select all
# These are the standard console login getties in multiuser mode:
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -a root --noclear 38400 tty1 linux
