Re: Removing the stops

Hi there!

I've been trying to solve this all day but without any success. I copied 
login and login.lua to xin and xin.lua and stripped most of the code. I 
made sure to keep "exit(0)" thinking it might be good to leave a 
return-value for agetty. I changed in inittab so that TTY1 was loaded 
like this:

tty1::respawn:/usr/bin/agetty -n -l /usr/bin/xin 38400 tty1

No success with this. I removed the other halts, so now the login is all 
that's in my way besides loadtime. Can't do much about that when it 
commes to floppies. I removed 600KB of manpages so it unpacks a (little) 
bit faster.
