Choosing the Login Mode

There are a few parameters:

  1. Graphical interface: if you wish to have the X Window System (graphical display) started at boot time, check the Launch the graphical environment when your system starts box. If you leave it unchecked, the text login will be displayed.

  2. Autologin: if you're the only person using your machine and nobody else has access to it, you may choose to be automatically logged in at boot time. To do so, select the Yes, I want to autologin with this (user, desktop) option. Then choose the user who will be logged on automatically in the Default user, as well as the preferred Default desktop in the pull-down menus.
