This in turn leaves users having to start up each service (ie. X, an xterm, a window manager, etc.) manually. There is however a simple workaround. Create a script that looks something like this:<\/p>\n<pre>\nXbeos -ac &amp;\nsleep 1\nxterm &amp;\ntwm &amp;\n<\/pre>\n<p>and name it <code>xinit<\/code>.  Now make the script executable by typing<\/p>\n<pre>chmod 755 xinit<\/pre>\n<p>Drop the script into <code>\/boot\/home\/config\/bin<\/code>.
