Hi Davida,

please (please!) don't be angry about me: I _did_ under-
stand you right before but I am still very sure that it
is not a good idea to get rid of the login procedure.

Sorry about that, but why not giving your mother a nice
little account e.g. called 'mom' without any password
but reserve the true 'root' account for yourself to pre-
vent her from destroying the system by accident?

It hard to believe for me that it would be to much work
for her to enter 'mom' after booting linux.

(Forgive me for being such a pest,
 but I am sure this would be better.)

Kindest regards,

Karl-Heinz
