Re: [gentoo-user] Portable Gentoo (Pen Drive Linux)

[Francisco Ares]

To auto log-in, I use a feature of "agetty":

On /etc/inittab:

# TERMINALS
# c1:12345:respawn:/usr/bin/fbi -a -noverbose --nocomments
/etc/splash/natural_altec/images/silent-1024x768.jpg
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty --noclear 38400 tty1 linux
c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
c3:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux
c4:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux
c5:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
c6:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -a AutoLogInUserName 38400 tty6 linux

And for auto run, after auto log-in accomplished, I use ".bash_profile" on
the auto logged-in user's home directory.

Hope this helps
Francisco
