I completed installing slink and now X comes up automatically. My first login is always refused and the second one works. If I try to Quit X I am forced back to the X login.
When I bring up xterm and do a 'shutdown -h now' I see that my original CLI login has been repaetedly failing to login on the 60 second login timer. Before I try to fix this and mess myself up big time, I thought I had better ask what is going on and how to fix it. I searched the Debian archives to no avail. For now, I would prefer to simply get a CLI login and do startx when I want it. Once I get everything set I wouldn't mind automatically doing a startx but I hav concerned about the underlying login fail every 60 seconds. Thanks for the help.
