What exactly do you mean by this?? Do you mean making a new user "eg: Freevo"?? I've not done that yet because I've not figured out how to make it autologin. > > > I want to know what are the alternative in getting a user to > login > > automatically and start the freevo process. > > Well, is this like a kiosk or do you want a functional desktop, > for users to exploit the network? > Add a few extra steps to your thoughts and share the details with us.
