HOW TO BOOT UBUNTU BY DEFAULT USERNAME & PASSWORD WITHOUT PROMPT

[Chris Hallsworth]

Hi, thanks very much for this, because I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and each time I 
start the system I get prompted to log in with my username and password. 
Since I'm the only user on this machine, I'd rather let it log in for me 
without prompting. Thanks again, and take care.
