     I have several Tower 600's used by less than computer literate people.
When they reboot the system, it will run through the hardware checks, and
goto single user with a login on the console.  What I would like is for
the boot procedure to go into multi user as the default.

     Is there any method to set this up or is it fixed in the hardware?

     If it is fixed in the hardware is there a way around it by 
     messing with inittab file?  ( such as making single user = init 1
     and multi-user = init 2?)

     If anyone has any experience/advice on this topic I would apreciate
hearing what you have to say, any ups and downs you experienced, or any
other information you fell mightel might be of help.

Thanks, Brian--
