Re: Is xdm required?
The instal script is just giving you the option of using xdm at bootup. Just say no and you can start it manually, or any other X startup program. On 4 Jun 1997 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: J.

Because every X discussion I've seen here recently clearly presumes that xdm is being used, and because the last time I upgraded my 1.2 installation I was forced to create a dummy /etc/init.d/xdm to get the install to complete. Well, that makes the issue clearer. You can't install X without also installing xdm...it comes in xbase...but you are by no means forced to use it. Startx for instance is also provided and is a perfectly good way to start X. During the installation you will be asked if you want to boot with xdm and in a second question you will be asked if xdm should be used to start the xserver. If you answer no to both of these questions you will NOT be forced to use xdm. If this doesn't fix things for you, please feel free to ask more pointed questions.

Re: Is xdm required?

Well, xdm comes with the xbase package, so, if you don't want to
install xdm, you'd have to live without X at all. But, if you want
to just upgrade 1.3, without automatically activating xdm, that's
very possible (it'll ask you at install time whether you want
xdm to be setup).

So, how about me selling the address [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
some mass-mailer crook? Isn't that statement a bit contradictory?
