i don't think it's to big. having lxdm at some later point though, is nice, and i wouldn't mind the size decrease it bringts, however, until then the size difference doesn't matter much. otoh, choosing xdm is a no-go anyway, it doesn't support autologin (which is essential for live systems) and i don't think that the the installer (via tasksel) should use anything different than what we do with the live systems. > Shouldn't it use lightdm by default like Xfce does? lightdm is relatively buggy, does not reasonably support autologin yet, and doesn't bring any advantages over gdm3. gdm3 is even smaller in footprint size than gdm in squeeze, hence, using gdm3 in wheezy rather than gdm in squeeze is already an improvement. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Donnerbuehlweg 3, CH-3012 Bern Email: daniel.baum...@progress-technologies.net Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
