as root type rc-update add xdm default

This will start up KDM when you start the machine.

Hi,
	So my new Gentoo/AMD64 is working quite well since I set it up a few 
weeks ago. Now I think I would like to make it boot directly into a 
graphical Windows environment (X/KDE) on startup rather than having to 
login and type 'startx'. Call me a lame Windows user if you will.

	What's the way to do this? I seem to recall something involving run 
level 6.

	Thanks...

Re: [gentoo-user] 2.6.10 and automounting ?

2005-02-14 Thread Jason Smith 




Can anyone explain to me how they got USB to automount with supermount?

I haven't been able to figure this out?

Thanks,

 1) patch the kernel to re-enable supermount, which is considered evil,

 matter how evil it is, supermount actually works reliably, and that is
 what is most important to me.

I've found the same. supermount works reliably for CD/DVD and USB flash
devices, despite any alleged evilness. The alternatives all had
drawbacks that made them inferior to supermount from this user's point of
view. I use gentoo-dev-sources and apply the patch from the ck sources
site. It's worked reliably since supermount was removed from
gentoo-dev-sources for 2.6.8(?).
