XDM to KDM

[Greg Scharrer <scharrer@swcp.com>]

I want to stop running xdm and run kdm instead, but I cannot figure out
how to do it. I also hope there is a simple way to switch back if I do
not like KDE.

I am running Debian 2.1. I searched the archives and there are many
mentions of commenting out xdm-start in /etc/X11/config. However, I do
not have that file on my system. I read in one response that there is
no /etc/X11/config file in slink. The file /etc/X11/xdm/xdm.options was
referenced for slink. I cannot find any xdm-start in xdm.options or
anywhere (I did a grep xdm-start * in /etc/X11 and /etc/X11/xdm with no
hits. I also did a grep for start-xdm). I seem to remember finding
something like that when I
got xdm up in the first place though. My xdm.options file is below.

# /etc/X11/xdm.options
#
# configuration options for xdm
# See xdm.options(5) for an explanation of the available options.

check-local-xserver
no-ignore-nologin
no-restart-on-upgrade
run-xconsole
use-sessreg

Thanks for your help.
