Changes I sometimes like to make:

don't require logins on consoles
- edit /etc/inittab, change the c1 through c6 lines: after `agetty`, add `-n -l /bin/autologin`.
- create /bin/autologin with the contents:
```
#!/bin/sh
exec /bin/login -f root
```
- edit /etc/shadow, and blank out root's password (remove the long series of random characters between the two colons)
