That sounds like it thinks kdm is already the default. I would run the program again, choosing gdm, then run it a final time, choosing kdm again. > So for the alternate method - I do have a /etc/inittab file with the > line "id:5:initdefault:" in it, but there is no line > "x:5:respawn:/usr/X11R6/bin/..." to change to > "x:5:respawn:/opt/kde/bin/kdm -nodaemon" and I'm not sure if an where > I should put the line. Maybe it no longer even belongs in this file??? This is for distros that have X start in runlevel 5; ignore these instructions for use on Debian, which has the identical runlevels 2 - 5. (Or, if you wanted, you could make these changes; that's the beauty of Debian; you can configure it the way you, the sysadm, want it configured. But I would recommend making these changes until you're more familiar with runlevels and inittab, etc.) -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
