You are probably using 2.2, which I have no experience with.  Try upgrading to 2.4 if possible, with the following command: apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-1-386 (You will need to reboot.) That will bring you up to 2.4, and then you may want to upgrade to sarge, the latest stable, and get 2.6.

a simple solution to prevent xdm from starting everytime you boot is to remove xdm from /etc/rc2.d. See, whenever linux boots it runs a script that causes the files in /etc/rcN.d where N is a number between 1 and 6 (called runlevels). Debian is set to runlevel 2 by default so by removing xdm fro
