No, it is just another applet, but works with network manager 0.9.x ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/networkmanagement/0.9.0.5/src/ I think that instructions on "Further KDE Packages" should do the trick. >>> KDM crashes and this is my concern.

I guess it isn't case for you. I also have /var/log/kdm.log, but it does not contain anything useful. I looked at Archlinux pkgbuild and install files and KDM seems to require seperate user, just like GDM. This did the trick for me groupadd -g 37 kdm useradd -u 37 -g kdm -d /var/lib/kdm -s /bin/false kdm install -d -o kdm -g kdm /var/lib/kdm I have this in my post install script (not any package manager, just plain cp -r and such). If this doesn't solve problem for you, then you can hope that Ragnar will show up and try to help you because he wrote KDE instructions and maintains them in BLFS. I installed mine differently, ie everything into /usr, no env vars, no /etc/kde sysconf dir and such ... -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
