Hi all,

     First, sorry for the first unfinished letter because I press space
after tab,  I know space is better than tab now:)

     This weekend I try to make one hurd box work with one DM autostart,
and what I want to say is that *you will never know whether it will work or
not if we don't provide one workable image to user*.

     What I expected:

     wdm as display manager,
     window maker as windows manager.

     But it is not work for me, after some  work, it works, I want to check
whether some action is needed or overworked, please help me to check and
fix these problem in package if needed.

     1. adjust /etc/X11/wdm/Xservers
      change the last line from  *:0 local /usr/bin/X :0 vt7 -nolisten tcp*
      to *:0 local /usr/bin/X :0 -nolisten tcp*
*      vt7 was no needed and may cause wdm start x failed, right?*
      (it is not follow */usr/bin/X -help* document, but work for my debian
7.4)

     2. reorder the /etc/rc2.d/ script.
       The wdm boot before hurd-console for default install.
       As X need hurd-console be started first, *I make wdm boot after
hurd-console, this was needed, right?*
       I also make ssh boot after hurd-console,  I know it work all the
time,  but I want to know whether this is better?

       And, the script order like this(don't care for uncontinuous number,
just for keeping the order):
       README  S01motd  S01rsyslog  S02cron  S02dbus  S02rsync  S04bootlogs
 S05hurd-console  S10ssh  S12wdm        S14rc.local  S16rmnologin

    3. one question not related to this topic
        What's the formal way to change the script order?  the order return
to default after I do dpk-reconfig X11-common

    4. for *dpk-reconfig X11-common*, the *Console Users Only *be the right
one , right? but I remember someone advice me to choose Anyone?

    Hope you enjoy my work!

    Thanks

    Cong Zhang
