Shut down system when logged out

[Mark Welker]

Hi,

edit
/etc/inittab
Change the run level to 4 for Slackware 8.1
It is 4 for slack even if it is not for other distros.

Install xfce
./configure --enable-gdm
make
make install

As the user
xfce_setup

You should now have a graphical logon and logoff and shutdown.
