to quote what i was disturbed at >>this upgrade broke my login with kdm and startx as well on reboot >>/var/log/messages that may be pertanant >No it didn't, it just split kdm out as a seperate package. Too many times there have been many times that the answer for problems have been "oh it works here" or "No it is not broken" something to that order. This list needs less of this type of condensation. However my appolgies are in order. So to get that out of the way. We need to try to help the frustrated people with problems they need help with, realizing that at that point in time they have understandably short fuses. We should never trivialize peoples problems. That is why linux faces such an uphill battle with becoming a Desktop fact unstead of a want to be. I was aware of the mdkkdm problem however until 14mdk I had no problems. except for the past 3 or for upgrades nothing that i put in /etc/sysconfig/desktop had any effect and i had even forgot i had changed them. For they didn't have any effect! only after checking a few thing that I realized what happened. There have been many times that upgrades do break things and nothing helps except reinstalling the distro especially when I upgrade many things. I appriciate the help by the way. I am glad that with both your help that didn't happen this time.
