10/17   Is it possible to setup my Linux box (not connectect to the net) so
        that as soon as it launches XDM, it will log in with .xinitrc for me?
        \_ change the initial runlevel to 5 in /etc/initab. make sure
           xdm/gdm is configured properly.  try to use telinit first.
        \_ launch something other than xdm.  -tom
