Hell, why bother even allowing it to login. Kill the getty's and dump strait |
| 8 |
to a root bash :) This can be easily (fairly) done by changing inittab. Just |
| 9 |
delete the last 5 line that spawn agetty's (Mine only uses 3 getty's... I |
| 10 |
really don't see why you need six to begin with) and replace the first with |
| 11 |
/bin/bash. Also, change one of the scripts to startx... hell, I'm not sure, |
| 12 |
but I think you could even have inittab respawn startx! |

Does grandma have high speed internet? I doubt it. If so, dhcp. Otherwise |
| 21 |
I'm sure a dial-up script for a modem will work. just make it linked to a |
| 22 |
button on the desktop.. really, it shouldn't be to hard (tedious, but not |
| 23 |
hard) to make a gentoo box easy enough for anyone. If not.. buy a mac. LOL. |

Thanks for the laughs though. Peace. |
