first purge the config files(back them up first if you want) dpkg --purge xdm then install xdm: apt-get install xdm perhaps you manually removed the config files after removing xdm? by default the package system does not remove config files when you remove the package, you need the option purge to remove all traces of the package. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
