Start X automatically without typing user/password

[mahavishnu]

I have recently moved from Mandrake to Slackware.

Personally, i think it is annoyng typing user and passwords since I'm the only user using my desktop.

Is there a way to start X and KDE automatically when I boot Slackware ??

Sure many people have the same problem ...

make sure you set your xwm to kde with xwmconfig to default to kde

you must change your init file to a different default runlevel. Slackware uses different settings than most other distros. The setting that you need to look for is in /etc/inittab. CHange the default runlevel to four for slack. I know that this post has been answered numerous times. However, be very careful not booting into the cli. If anything happens to your xserver it might be hard getting into a cli to fix things.
