Just to clarify... So I skip the export, startx and xhost steps replacing them with X -q... on the desktop. Packages installed as above, uses window manager on the laptop? Does XDM require you to log in? If so, can I make it automatically send the info I used to log in to the console (both will have identical user details). BTW, does the laptop need xbase and xlib6g?
