+Probably a better solution, if you know that X is supposed to come up 
+but isn't, is to automatically log him in as some new ID whose shell is 
+a script something like the rescue console script.  The first thing it 
+does is su him to prompt for the root password, and then presents a 
+character-based dialog explaining his options, offering to run XFdrake, 
+maybe running rpm/urpmi to see if all needed packages are installed, and 
+giving him to option to exit to a real shell if he wants.
