You can have the computer start with either the text prompt or xdm even if you have both installed. This is set by changing the runlevel, but don't do it until you have X running from startx. > tried startx and it said no such file or directory. Whatever, I'll > eventually figure it out. Then some other bits of X are missing. startx should come with the xbase package (at least in hamm, ie Debian 2.0). You'll also need one of the xserver- packages (depending on what video card you have).
