to a installable pack what i can add ( to multiboot OS's ) to PINN ( not tested NOOBS )

Re: how to start a terminal with a command?

mkdir /home/pi/.config/autostart
nano /home/pi/.config/autostart/myautostart.desktop

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=myautostart
Exec=lxterminal
