/etc/modules comment is wrong

2005-05-20 Thread Jacobo221
In Debian Sarge, in /etc/modules out-of-the-box, the comments say that nything after '#' is ingored. But this is wrong. Only lines which BEGIN with '#' are ignored. This should be changed. Since /etc/modules appears to not be placed by any package but instead dynamically created, I wonder where

It worked for me fine but, since rungetty doesn't set the USER variable, HOME variable etc, bash, when run as "bash -l" will fail to rad ~/.profile ~/.bashrc, etc...

2004-10-10 Thread Jacobo221
Hi, I'm working on my computer to do a Linux MediaCenter (to play videos, DVS, music, maybe games, and such). Since this computer will not have internet nor LAN access, i'd like it to auto-login, so that by insterting a CD and booting up, everything is done and not a single key has to be pressed. H
