I have Debian 2.2, and would like to substitute gdm for xdm. I'm a recent convert to Debian, and not entirely at ease with the package management utilities. Using dselect, and selecting gdm, I'm told that it conflicts with xdm which will therefore be removed. But task-x-window-system depends on xdm, so that will be uninstalled too, which is obviously not what's wanted. I tried to force it not to remove task-* by hitting Q instead of <return> in the dependencies list, but that seemed to have no effect. How can I get gdm properly installed?
