How were they crashing?  Can you give us a little more info.

Any particular reason why you wanted to do this?

Quite likely.  Can you post the contents of your /etc/exports?
Have you installed nfs-kernel-server?  Is it starting?

This is bad, as tty1 is always a login.  Any reason why you're
not using LDM?

Also, lowercase won't work.

It should be either:

SCREEN_07=startx

or

SCREEN_07=ldm
