I'm guessing you mean xdm. If your system is like mine, you'll have a file
/etc/X11/config. In their will be a line 'start-xdm' which you should

There is no such thing as drive letters.
Partitions ar mounted around in the directory structure and you move
around just like on any other directory.

3) Why does debian say 'only the root can do that' when I type the line
