Okay, I have my system running, and X runs, and xdm runs, and kdm runs and I
can get the KDE environment up. But I have some questions on how to do all of
this automagically.
1) About runlevels, I currently run at level 2, do I just change the value in
the inittab to 5 and be done with it? or are there more things to consider?
2) I figured out how xdm starts. Init does it via the rc.* files. All of
them link back to /etc/init.d/xdm - a script that does the dirty work. It
uses start-stop-daemon to actually start the xdm program. Question is, I need
to start kdm instead of xdm. Is it acceptable to just rename the xdm program
to xdm.old and put a link to kdm in it's place? or is it better to change the
script to start kdm?
3) When I bring KDE up currently, I do the following:
startx
startkde
The startx is self-explanatory. The startkde brings up the kwm and
other KDE
utils that bring up the desktop. There are actually 5 or 6 things that get
started. How do I get all of these to come up when kdm starts? The
instructions with KDE didn't help much. Should I just add these to the bottom
of the xdm script in init.d? Or is there a better way to do it?
TIA for the help.
