Modify Startup

The file to make modifications on for startup is the /home/dsl/.xinitrc file. Before you edit this file create a backup by doing this command as root:

cp /home/dsl/.xinitrc /home/dsl/.xinitrc_bk

Stop Dillo from starting on startup.
If you want to stop Dillo from starting just place a # sign in front like the example.

# dillo /usr/share/doc/dsl/getting_started.html &>/dev/null &

Run a Program on Startup

You may require an X Window program to run at startup. This also can be done with the .xinitrc file. After the line that you see below enter the command to start the program followed by an &.

beaver &

This will start Beaver when you log into DSL.
