Hi there,
I have successfully installed knoppix to hdd. But now I want to create a user that is logged in automatically, but doesn't use any window manager.
How can I do this?
I have a mini-itx that should run without keyboard and mouse. So where can I find the login-sripts, that starts the kde or checks for the keyboard?
And another question: where is a good place to start processes that have to be started while booting? (I need to start lirc)
Thanks, Heiko
Not sure if this all that you are looking for, but take a look at the /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig and xsession scripts. It is well documented as to what each section does
In there Keyboard is configured, and there will be part of a line that says something like DESKTOP="KDE". If you want nothing to load as a window manger, then do DESKTOP="". If you don't want the XServer to start period, then change the init version from 5 to 4 or 3. I forget which one is the correct number. Hope this helps ya out!!!

--Pardon me, but I don't find anyplace in /etc/rc5.d where /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig is run...
--Anyhow, /etc/inittab gets run first. Then it runs /etc/init.d/rcS, which runs the S99* links in whatever the default runlevel is (/etc/rc5.d for knoppix.)
--I haven't tried this myself, but there is an entry in inittab that looks like this:
' 5:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5 '
--Now instead of running /sbin/getty, you might try running something like this:
--See ' man open ' for more details. You might try ' 8:5:respawn:/usr/bin/open -c 8 -w -s -l -- su USERNAME ' to start the user up on console 8 and switch to it. (BTW I just tested this in vmware, and it works.)Code:9:2345:respawn:/usr/bin/open -c 9 -w -- /usr/bin/top -s
12:2345:respawn:/usr/bin/open -c 12 -w -- su -c "tail /var/log/messages -f --lines 50
--AFA starting a different windowmanager than KDE, I'd like to know myself. I just boot without kdm or any graphical interface, and use xinit.
alias sf='xinit /usr/bin/sawfish & ~/.xinitrc & '
