X question

[Robert Meyer]

Well, in Mandrake, you can tell the machine to come up in init
level 5 which means automatically start X and put up an xdm
(kdm?) display manager to ask for username and password.
You can also tell Mandrake to automatically log in the X session
as some user.  This should take care of what you're looking for.

Cheers!
