Startx when slackware starts


Hi,

How can I make slackware startx whenever it starts instead of having to go login as root and type startx each time?



Thanks.

Talking Hi... adduser and nano /etc/initab

You can type adduser and add yourself as a user and log in the preferable way,just keep hitting return until you get to the important bits...then you nano /etc/initab and change the run level from 3 to 4

And you also really shouldn't be logging into X as root.
