I guess it starts up via /etc/ttys for the same reason it starts up in Linux via /etc/inittab: tradition. /etc/ttys is where xdm gets started, and so it makes some small sense to start kdm there as well. But I see no reason why you can't have it started with an rc.d script either. -- David Johnson _______________________________________________ kde-freebsd mailing list [email protected] http://freebsd.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd
