Just to clarify...
So I skip the export, startx and xhost steps replacing them with X -q...
on the desktop. Packages installed as above, uses window manager on the
laptop? Does XDM require you to log in? If so, can I make it
automatically send the info I used to log in to the console (both will
have identical user details).
BTW, does the laptop need xbase and xlib6g?
Thanks
