Well, at the moment, I'm running corel, and it has
... respawn:/sbin/mgetty.....
'm' insteadda 'a'. But corel is better, dont require me
to use a password, and just makes me click on the default
user. .. or scroll down to root.

Since someone running other rh distros says it is there,
it looks like just a glitch with this particular issue.

Which I guess relates to the confusion over all the
different distros and editions. 'man ldd' comes up
in the terminal window of corel. But oddly, if you do
alt-F2, it pops up with a command line on the gui screen
rather than actually giving the user the CLI text mode.

Sorta looks like a Mickysloth 'feature'. Of those I've
seen corel is the most like windoz.
