Yes, assuming that you want to autologin, and not using a login-manager, edit /etc/inittab, find the line:
1
respawn:/bin/login ..... and change root to puppy:
Code: Select all
1:2345:respawn:/bin/login -f puppy tty6 </dev/tty1 >/dev/tty1 2>&1
I tried this .
This works for Bullseye & Bookworm non-systemd build.
Didn't work for systemd build.
Is there equivalent steps to do for systemd build?

Yes, edit "/etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service" . find the ExecStart= line and change root to puppy .

Tested in Bullseye & Bookworm with systemd - works. 
Thank you Fred!
