Okay I have installed slink for the second time. This time around after I "dselected" and configured my debian files I immediately downloaded and installed a 2.2.x kernel. Then I downloaded and installed Xfree86 version 3.3.3. Only then did I configure the X window system with XF86Setup. When I rebooted the system I was hoping that xdm would load., but during the bootup process the last two lines that are displayed are :
Checking for valid XFree86 server configuration ........ file not found. xdm failed to load. What gives? The first time I was able to get slink up and running , the XFree86 original version and xdm loaded just fine. But this time, for some reason loading the newer version has messed up my xdm. I can get an X session up and running with no problems, but I really don't want to type "startx" every time I log in. Any possible solutions? Monte Copeland Knoxville, TN
