Starting Xwindows Automatically when Booting Backtrack

When you are using backtrack you have to type startx to start XWindows after login. It is convenient to configure your system to automatically execute startx (and any other commands you might want) after logging in.

$ nano /root/.bash_profile

Add the following line:

startx

Then save and exit.

You could also put this line in the bash_profile file:

/etc/init.d/networking start

This automatically enables network access after logging in. Networking is disabled by default in Backtrack for stealth reasons.
