>Description:
Hi.  I'm a BSD idiot.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I looked at BSD rc.d things.  But you know I've never ran BSD - not sure why is 
good or bad compared to [Debian] linux.  It looks like there may be allot I 
don't know even if I read it / tried to research it.

I'm trying to release the below in a way in which any BSD users can use if they 
so please.  Maybe it's not worth showing others.  see for yourself if that's an 
issue.

http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/xdm-options/

(an xdm "sample config" suite but complete "round trip": chooser, login, 
desktop chooser, xdm server: by menus no hacking req. is the release hope)

It needs /etc/inittab (launch X display by it's sh script).

It needs /etc/rc.d (start the xdm server by it's sh script).

I looked at BSD rc.d things.  But you know I've never ran BSD - not sure why is 
good or bad compared to [Debian] linux.

Any advice?
