Something still sounds strange. It would certainly be good to get to root cause of why it wants to remove kde for you. One thing that sometimes pops up is that people install x-window-system which pulls in x-window-system-core, lbxproxy, proxymngr, twm, xdm, xfs, xfwp, xnest, xprt-xprintorg, xterm, xvfb. It is just a meta package. It is okay to remove that and probably several of those packages in the depends list. X itself is listed in the depends below x-window-system. But you would probably want xterm out of that list. In any case, when I hear xdm I assume it was pulled in due to installing the x-window-system meta-package. Bob
