It just says it executes the /etc/init.d/kdm script (which actually checks for the start-kdm line on startup but does not on shutdown) > checking the local xservers.... > Shut down the xdm display manager .... xdm is not running.... Here the kdm script already has stopped the xdm. I have to give you a little warning though. If you upgrade to slink, it does not have /etc/X11/config file. Instead, xdm is started as soon as you install the xdm package. In order to switch to kdm you'll need to: 1) remove original /etc/init.d/kdm (it still uses that config file) and copy it from /etc/init.d/xdm. 2) edit the new /etc/init.d/kdm to replace xdm with kdm. 3) disable original /etc/init.d/xdm either by inserting "exit 0" somewhere in the beginning of the script, or removing links to xdm from /etc/rc.*/ Sergey.
