You didn't say whether you wished to keep KDM, or use XDM. THis is kinda important, as if you remove *all* of KDE, you'll lose KDM too, and then you'll be forced to either do without a login manager and start xfce manually for each user.
Also, if you go with XDM, then each user will have no choice but to use a single window manager by default (rather than the semi-fancy menu of options). Sure, they can still use something else, but its no where near as simple as just picking it off the KDM drop down menu. Collins wrote: > On Sat, 29 Jun 2002 23:24:39 -0500 "Richard R.
