  <para>This tool<footnote>
      <para>You can start this tool from the command line, by typing <emphasis role="bold">drakboot</emphasis> as root.</para>
    </footnote> allows you to automatically login the same user, in her/his
  desktop environment, without asking for any password. It's called autologin.
  This is generally a good idea when there is only one user like to be using
  the machine.</para>

  <para>It is found under the <emphasis role="bold">Boot</emphasis> tab in the
  Mageia Control Center labelled "Set up autologin to automatically log
  in".</para>

  <para>The interface buttons are pretty obvious:</para>

  <para>Check <guibutton>Launch the graphical environment when your system
  starts</guibutton>, if you want X Window System to be executed after the
  boot. If not, the system will start in text mode. Nevertheless, it will be
  possible to launch the graphic interface manually. This can be done by
  launching the command 'startx' or 'systemctl start dm'.</para>

  <para>If the first box is checked, two other options are available, check
  either <guibutton>No, I don't want autologin</guibutton>, if you want the
  system to continue to ask for which user to connect (and password) or check
  <guibutton>Yes, I want autologin with this (user, desktop)</guibutton>, if
  needed. In this case, you also need to supply the <guilabel>Default
  username</guilabel> and the <guilabel>Default desktop</guilabel>.</para>
