Hi there all. Many thinks for those who helped with the Kyro issue, machine now boots to CLI and I start X from there! A thought has come to mind though. As i have edited /etc/innittab/ to make 3 the default run level, is it possible to then have a command run on login to a CLI - ie startx - just saves me the effort, seeing as I walk out of the room for a moment, and my little boy is slapping my keyboard with the hopes of it making a noise! The other question - how on EARTH can I create an Asci Art logon screen ala MDK - not a Penguin, just something for the people who telnet into my machine for one reason and another. Many Thanks John Sampson
