Setting up automatic logon after installation.

I want to install Debian in such a way that the system will automatically login (not requiring of me to enter username and password)) as user when the installation is finished. I'm installing a pretty bare system with netinst, no DE, no X manager, just CLI, with nothing selected at taskel in pr

Jarth, Thanks for the reply. I found out there's no such thing as 7.1 LiveCD, and also found out the older versions in the archive. So I tried 7.0.0, 6.0.7, and 6.0.6. All of them have the same issue. However, I could find my old cd-r and it works fine. So, yeah, some module is removed, and I'll

sad but true, Linux sucks, a bit

Looking back on using Linux as a desktop OS for almost 15 years we've seen tons of features added but not much in terms of 'bite'. Hardware support is a lot better but still sucks when it comes to consumer multi-media, gaming performance etc. Someone wrote down a well documented list on all
