[Morphix-devel] Slimming down and running as root by default

[Juergen F. <ju...@fi...>]

No, the two don't have anything to do with each other.

So, question the first: Can anyone think of a good way to slim a Morphix
derivative down some? I am trying to cram as much useful stuff as
possible on a 200M CD - got the basics covered but there are a few
things I would really like but can't fit on the CD right now.
I noticed that all the drivers for xorg take up a huge amount of space
- is there a way to save some space there and still be compatible
across most systems? I don't need fancy X capabilities - mostly I use
it to run wireshark & ettercap in graphical mode.=20

And question the second: Is there a way to run the X session in
Morphix as root by default? I tried passing 'username=3Droot' as a
kernel parameter, but it appears that at some point, Morphix tries to
create a new user named root - and that doesn't work out too well. I
got a bit confused trying to figure out where exactly that kernel
parameter is used; and help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Juergen
