Configuration of Linuxconf startup: Purpose

Next Previous Contents

## 1. Purpose

When Linux boots, Linuxconf displays a menu of available operation modes. The system will wait forever until the user selects one mode. This is not always acceptable. For instance, if a power failure occurs, one expects linux to boot by itself and come back to its normal state. Since Linux is a multitasking, multiuser OS, it can do quite a few useful things without someone sitting in front of it.
