I never install gdm/xdm/kdm. I've tested them for the book, but I never use them myself. I have much more control at the command line and typing startx is easy. How often do you reboot a solid system? Oops, its been 152 times for me -- since Nov 29 19:38:58 2005. Looking in more detail, that's 95 times where the time between reboots is more than an hour or about once every 20 days on average. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
