Talk:TTY Autologin

From Alpine Linux

Isn't this just reinventing the wheel?

Instead of going through the trouble of compiling something, wouldn't it be much easier to apk add agetty (from main) and use the -a (--autologin) option? –zcrayfish (talkcontribssend email) 02:13, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Disregard because I edited the article to have both. (the agetty option was needed for the non-edge users in any case) –zcrayfish (talkcontribssend email) 08:32, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
tcc is not a mandatory package, it is just a C compiler, I initially choose it because it is small (~1Mb) in contrast to gcc (>100Mb), but if the issue is that it is on edge, then it is enough to use gcc which is in main, simple as that. Also agetty is times larger then a mere system call. –MarcoDG 08:39, 15 September 2023 (CET)
