    3 REMARKS:
    4 
    5 Starting with version 0.5.0, qingy should work on NTPL enabled systems
    6 again, given that you use a kernel newer than 2.6.7 (2.6.7 will _not_
    7 work).
    8 
    9 POST-INSTALL:
   10 
   11 (quoting http://qingy.sourceforge.net/manual.php):
   12 
   13 You also have to modify your /etc/inittab file. You should find in it a
   14 section that goes like this: 
   15 
   16  # TERMINALS
   17  c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
   18  c2:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
   19  c3:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux
   20  c4:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux
   21  c5:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
   22  c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
   23   
   24  and modify it as follows: 
   25 
   26  # TERMINALS
   27  c1:12345:respawn:/usr/sbin/qingy tty1
   28  c2:12345:respawn:/usr/sbin/qingy tty2
   29  c3:12345:respawn:/usr/sbin/qingy tty3
   30  c4:12345:respawn:/usr/sbin/qingy tty4
   31  c5:12345:respawn:/usr/sbin/qingy tty5
   32  c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
   33   
   34  After that you can either reboot your system or use the following
   35 commands (as root): 
   36  init Q
   37  killall agetty
   38  where agetty is the name of your previous *getty. After this, either
   39 logout or change terminal to see qingy in all it's glory! 
   40 
   41  I suggest you leave at least one terminal with your old *getty, so that
   42 in case of problems or misconfiguration (remember that qingy is beta
   43 software, so there may well be some bugs) you have at least one surely
   44 working terminal.
