Purely for the purposes of installing other software,
I'd quite like to change
the system to prompt for a login name at startup though - anyone recall how to
do this?
That way I can log in as root and have the full desktop environment available,
rather than having to drop to a shell and issuing 'su', working out the
locations / names of the file browser etc. that I need, figuring out CDROM
mounting and all that other fun stuff.
IIRC, you simply tell it you want to install additional software and it
prompts you for the root password. Of course it's been 5+ years since I
gave my NeXT slab away so I might be remembering wrong.
