Any particular thread? You have a link?
You may have resolved your issue but a solution involves an explanation
of what happened on your machine. No explanation - no solution.
Glad you have sorted it though and we

Just make sure that you purge the screwed-up configurations files, i.e.
run "dpkg --purge gdm". (A normal uninstall will leave all configuration

To fix this the Debian way, you might try "aptitude reinstall gdm".

Boot into runlevel 1 and undo what you did. When booting with LILO, you
do this by placing a "1" on the boot command line.

Hit Control-Alt-F2. (This brings you into a text-mode VT).
Log-in as root. Fix the problem.
There are probably another couple-dozen ways to solve this problem.

Boot up from a knoppix CD (or other such). In Knoppix, you type something ike
boot knoppix single. This puts you in a non-password root command line shell.
Manually mount the partition with fstab.
Edit it.
