I am new to using Linux, and have a few questions. If someone could point
me to the apropriate documentation for answers, or tell me an answer in
the newsgroup, they would have my eternal gratitude... I am using
Slackware 3.1.0, which I downloaded from the net.

1. Where are the files that are used when booting up - that tell the
   machine what to do next (like load the deamons) etc?

2. How do I modify my path perminantly?

3. I have XFree86, and was wondering about the following - how do I get it
   to work so that more than one person can login / or so that upon
   bootup, it will load automatically, and all I have to do is swap to the
   new terminal?

Thanks in advance...
