Cool.  I'll have to try this out.  Can you run X OK on top of the emacs 
shell?

	Some people may find this useful:

	to start up programs on VC's, without having to login on every one,
	remove/replace the getty's in /etc/inittab (leave one), and use the
	dynamic-vc package from ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/utils/console
	and commands like:

        open -c 3 -- su -
        open -c 4 -- su -
        open -c 5 -- su -
        open -c 6 -- su - gps
        open -c 6 -- su - gps -c openwin &

	ie I login as root, run that script and it does the rest.
	I'm even considering removing the need to login as root,
	and have it simply boot into that mode.

Not to be dumb here, but what does this do for increased
accessability?  What are the advantages of dynamic-vc?

Thanks,

	none what so ever, I just wanted to waste 15 of your minutes
	whilst you applied it, un-applied it, and made up your own mind.

Re: Booting Linux

[T. V. Raman]

you definitely wont be able to run X on top of the shell running
inside emacs.

when you do M-x shell what you get is a comint buffer and that does
not do proper terminal emulation either. For terminal emulation you'll
need to use the term package --type M-x term ret
But that wont let you run X.
