Hi, Sorry for the delay.
- it checks if the kernel has a "script" argument (as given by the bootloader - never in the official builds - You mean this option we are working on won't be usable with the next official build ?!
Ideally, I think the script would set up auto login as root, and then put the aif invocation in /root/.bash_profile, or something like that. But it's probably too late to set up auto login as root, because that needs to be done by modifying /etc/inittab, but init is already running... This sound much better, running from /root/.bash_profile. Or just having a modified inittab that runs agetty with automatic login. Well in my opinion, automatic login should be always activated or not at all.
The patch I proposed is designed for automatic install and is working for this purpose. But if you want to introduce root autologin, and put something in .bash_profile to autostart a manual or a automatic install, it is a good idea and not only for the case of an automatic install. I would really appreciate to be able to use this script option without modifying the iso. In my opinion, always activated auto-login would be great. Should I propose patches ?
I guess we/Charles will just need to try a few approaches and see what works best. Yes, sure. No problem.
