<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.</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>
