Hello,
the documentation says that the login with user finn "is offered as an option at the first shutdown" .
But how can I choose this option later?
I would like that after the boot the system logs in automatically using the non-administrator user.
Thanks
You have to always tell us the exact Puppy version you are using.
I have no way of knowing if it has this ability fully working.
Yes there is a difference in each Puppy version.
I will guess it has this:
menu->System->Login and Security Manager
.
But I would not use finn
It has never been fully tested and bug fixed.
Use at your own risk.
Read usr/share/doc/root.htm
@bigpup :-
Hm. So, when did 'fido' morph into 'finn'..? 
Just curious, really. What was the rationale behind it? Was 'fido' too "cute-sy" for some folks? 
Mike. 
Have to ask barry K
He was the one that developed it.
Can finn be used as the default login option?
Just tried to set a password for the finn account on a Live-CD, rebooted but it would take me back to the root account.
I guess the boot medium needs to be writeable?
