Description Warren Block 2011-01-17 01:30:10 UTC 
The Handbook GNOME section does not mention the necessity of mounting /proc.  When /proc isn't mounted, GDM runs but shows no users.

The patch adds a note on /proc, and also breaks out the inline mentions of gdm_enable="YES" and gnome_enable="YES" to their own lines.  This makes them harder to lose in the flow of text.

Fix: Patch attached.
