Thanks. A much better document. Jonathan added a link to it.

Thanks. System startup, user authentication, authorization and
graphical system startup are complex subjects. Then there are many
ways to assemble into a working system. My knowledge doesn't qualify
well to document the subject. =8~/
This documentation task is analogous to writing a recipe for a cake.
Which cake? Thousands of cake recipes exist and everyone has a
preference. No recipe is widely accepted for any purpose. Eg., in
some cultures a wedding cake is a plain vanilla cake. In other
cultures, a fruitcake with marzipan and icing.

And some people won't eat fruitcake. =8~/
A personal workstation can be a straightforward tool. Yet confusion
between familiarity and feasibility gives arguments reminiscent of
religion. Achieving and documenting a good personal workstation is a
challenge.
Thx, ... P.
