Of course this is not desirable. I've never looked at what GDM really does because removing it was just an idea. Your short explanations discourage me from looking too deeply into its functioning. Thank you for highlighting nodm, which I didn't know. I think we'll have to use it when we'll have a replacement for the GDM greeter. It seems to be really what we need: no extra feature! > there's support for live/filesystem.packages-remove in live-installer, > patches for live/filesystem.packages-add are welcome. Didn't know this feature either since it is not our main focus yet. However if we switch to nodm one day, we'll have to consider it as well as its missing reverse operation :). @Intrigeri: I misunderstood a bit your pages and didn't catch on removing GDM was no longer considered. -- Jean-Michel Philippe ------------- DoudouLinux, the computer they prefer! http://www.doudoulinux.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-live-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
