I don't remember if it installs by default (I _THINK_ it does). If it's not then log in as root and urpmi Xtart Personally, I don't use kdm, mdkdm, gdm, xdm etc... It just seems to add an extra step that takes more time IMHO. The last time I used one I would login from the command line, startx, then log in again on the display manager, choose a GUI and hit ok. Maybe it's not like that anymore? I know if i do startx now it just goes straight to KDE but I figure that's because I don't use a graphical display manager. But... (and it's getting quite cliche to say this...) that's the great thing about GNU/Linux... choice. :-) HTH Jerry -- _||_ Registered linux user #300600 (o_ Registered linux machine # 185855 //\ at V_/_ http://counter.li.org
