Hi Brad, Looks like you just need/want to edit the Message Of The Day (/etc/motd) file. Don't run gnome here - sri.

Enlightenment is a window manager that runs on top of gnome. Gnome does not have its own window manager. KDE on the other hand is both the desktop environment and the window manager. So you can't really run gnome without a window manager. You need enlightenment or sawfish or some wm. I am not sure what you mean when you say kde and gnome start together. I don't see how this is possible. I think gnome and kde have support modes for each other, but you wouldn't, say, get both the gnome panel and the kde panel. HTH, Anthony

To change the login prompt message, you can edit the file /etc/issue. You will probably have to restart the login on each console for the change to take effect. For example you could log in, and then log out, and you will see the new message.
