I can understand them focusing on what the distributions want.
Have put all the dropped applications somewhere where people can get them if
they want them? I looked around for the source of xdm but could not find it.
Maybe I just looked in the wrong place.
Anyway, I've got SLiM working so its not an issue anymore, and here are the
instructions:
The web site is http://slim.berlios.de/
Downloaded from: http://download.berlios.de/slim/slim-1.3.1.tar.gz
Unpack and issue the commands:
make
make install
The configuration information is stored in /etc/slim.conf. It should be checked
to make sure the paths to xterm etc are correct.
I also changed the login_cmd line to make X run from the system-wide
configuration file rather than .xinitrc
login_cmd exec /bin/bash --login /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc %session
I also "touch"'d /etc/issue, to suppress the "file not found" message when
starting a console session.
and finally, added the following line to /etc/inittab
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null
