Following an earlier email concerning failure to look up a host adress which also prevented xdm from running I have included my ISP nameserver address in /etc/resolv.conf. Now xdm starts, I log in and the system waits before starting the window manager for some time I still havent waited long enough for the window manager to start as I close down the xserver. The question I have is how do you set up xdm for a system not conneted to the net and with loopback as the only network inteface. I still have my kernel comiled with etherner support should IU recompile without ethernet support ? Any help will be greatly appreciated George
