Hello,
Thanks to all the helpful input i got, i finally managed to do not start
at the graphical login prompt by default! :D I thought to send it to
the list in case anyone else is having this problem, its pretty easy
actually:
as root, just go to /etc/rc2.d once there, just "mv S99xdm

Check your /etc/X11
grr. After two years, i finally had a real crash. By this point, I was
suspicious enough to wipe the disk--there had been plenty of heat freezes
before I got the coooling in. Even got a kernel panic.
Anyway, about 60% of the way through formatting the / partition, the drive

In /etc/X11/config, you need the line
Will,
Don't know about KDE, but.
I believe an appropriate entry in /etc/rc5.d is where the debian package
of xdm installs itself (I have an S99xdm entry there). IIRC the debian
package postinstall asks you if you'd like to log directly into xdm. It's
a symbolic link to /etc/init.d/xdm. T
I beleive when you install the xbase package it asks you if you'd like to
start xdm upon boot. .. try adding 'start-xdm' to /etc/X11/config (take a
look at /etc/init.d/xdm)..

I'd like my system to come up running xdm or kdm. What is the proper
place to do this? Right now I'm just logging in and doing "sudo kdm",
but I've a feeling that there's probably a correct runlevel or something
to do this in.
