Re: XDM to KDM

["Jim B" <vader@conflict.net>]

You could run /usr/sbin/switchdm to change your default display manager.


Regarding the xdm start-up scripts: you will find them in your /etc/rc#.d/
directories.  The easiest way to disable it from boot-up is to run:

update-rc.d -f xdm remove

Check the man pages on update-rc.d though, before you run that... just so
you see what it will do and how it works.
