RE: KDM and FreeBSD?
Check chapter 5.7.3.1 of the FreeBSD Handbook. kdm is relatively easy to setup. GDM's setup is more work or at least the method I found on the net was. Maybe there's an easier way. I actually find GDM to be more aesthetically appealing than kdm, even though I don't really like Gnome's aesthetics. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
