You could run /usr/sbin/switchdm to change your default display manager.
Regarding the xdm start-up scripts: you will find them in your /etc/rc#.d/ directories. The easiest way to disable it from boot-up is to run: update-rc.d -f xdm remove Check the man pages on update-rc.d though, before you run that... just so you see what it will do and how it works. ----- Original Message ----- From: Greg Scharrer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 1999 11:00 PM Subject: XDM to KDM > I want to stop running xdm and run kdm instead, but I cannot figure out > how to do it.
