Re: [expert] Using Chooser in kdmrc
Eye-candy is a good thing on a login screen. How would one go about doing this? Ockham's solution at this point would probably be to switch MDK9 to GDM instead of KDM, so that the instructions will match RedHat. Besides, GDM is better eye-candy :-) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[expert] Using Chooser in kdmrc
At our junior college, we are using Mandrake 9.0 with LTSP 3. We just got 5 new servers, three for the lab and two elsewhere on the campus. The problem: most LTSP people are using RedHat, and the instructions I received for using multiple servers included adding this line to kdmrc: Chooser=/etc/X11/xdm/pretty-chooser The pretty-chooser is a script that sets up a nicer dialog box and then does exec /etc/X11/xdm/chooser $* The problem is that /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc appears to use Greeter where RedHat uses Chooser, and I have been unable to figure out how to get X to allow choosing from multiple servers on Mdk 9. Can anyone help? Thanks. -- Jan Wilson, SysAdmin _/*]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Corozal Junior College | |:' corozal.com corozal.bz Corozal Town, Belize | /' chetumal.com & linux.bz Reg.
