additional info to make the machine start automatically

This article describes a problem I had with the terminal starting and
asking me to type xwin
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=11545

The fix is to alter the /usr/X11R6/bin/xwin


edit /usr/X11R6/bin/xwin

comment the "exit" in this part, which is around line 210 in Puppy 2.10:

from
Code:
echo '
It seems that last time X ran, the computer hung and you had to reboot.
Have now dropped down to the commandline. If you want to run the Xorg
Video Wizrd, type "xorgwizard", and after configuring /etc/X11/xorg.conf
(hopefully correctly this time!) type "xwin" to start X.'
echo -e "\\033[0;39m"
rm -f /etc/.XLOADED #otherwise cannot start X.
exit
fi
fi
