Description Jason Buberel 2003-02-18 14:18:24 UTC 
I'm not sure if this was omitted on purpose, but it seems like adding xfs to the
startup process and starting the xfs daemon before users execute 'startx' would
be a good thing:

> rc-update add xfs default
> /etc/init.d/xfs start

This should go somewhere just before step 2.3. If having XFS is not required for
x11 to run properly, then a short NOTE in the document explaining why this is
the case would be helpful.

Reproducible: Always
