I was asking why one already-made UML would show a prompt in the console it was launched while the UML kernel and filesystem I built always insisted on opening an xterm. So I compared these two inittab lines below, the first one showing a xterm, the other showing a prompt in the console where it was launched:
> 0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty tty1 38400 > c0:1235:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty0 The answer is too easy. As the book says on page 43, all consoles are using xterms except for the first one. And that first one is tty0. The follwing modifed line from above will produce a console that will show a prompt right where the UML was launched and not by using a xterm: 0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty tty0 38400 Al ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
