[techtalk] How do I get rid of login screen

[Davida Schiff]

Hi Karl,

No I am not mad. Thanks to all for their suggestions. I think I am going to
play with the code a bit <GRIN> and/or write a script to see if I can wipe
out the logon screen. It just seems like Linux should be able to boot right
into GNOME's desktop the way (forgive me) Windows 3.10 does. Hope everyone's
weekend was wonderful.

Davida
