Login manager
« on: March 23, 2010, 05:26:02 PM »
I've just installed TinyCore into a VirtualBox for the first time and am really enjoying the experience, thanks!

Now, I've created a regular user account for myself with 'adduser' but how to I login to this account at bootup?  Is there a login manager to install?

The bootcode "noautologin" will disable the automatic start, and instead show a login prompt.

Ah, when I reboot, the user disappears along with his home directory.  I guess I really don't understand how this distro works yet.

That is how TC is supposed to work.  Fresh install every time.
If you make changes, you have to back them up.
Edit /opt/.filetool.lst
Change 'home/tc' to 'home'
and add the following 4 lines:
etc/passwd
etc/group
etc/shadow
etc/gshadow

Then do a backup.
On the next boot, your changes will be restored.
