now i have a problem in that xdm starts up on bootup, but i like to *choose* when i go into x... apt-get remove xdm which worked for me before, wont work out now. It says "E: Package xdm is not installed". but it is. It launches on bootup.
and from the login screen that xdm presents to me, i can login as, eg, troy, enter my password, and it goes back to the loging screen. Same deal for root. If i enter an incorrect user/pass, it says "login incorrect", but if i enter the corret user/pass, it kicks me back to the screen. I have gnome, but could the problem be that in the upgrade, a link from someplace to somewhere didnt happen properly?
can anyone give me any help? Thanks very much, Troy At 07:14 AM 11/10/00 , you wrote:

The system hangs while starting the font server (XFS ). I tried booting into single user mode to remove S20XFS from /etc/rc2.d but the file system is mounted read only. Does anyone know how to work around this? Thanks
