RE: Default Window Manager
This may sound dumb, but how do I remove xdm? I am new to debian and don't
know how to do this. And once xdm is removed will the system then use
.xinitrc and start gnome?
thanks,
Aaron

Remove xdm or kill the start scripts. If I remember right you wanted to
use 'startx'
I don't think xdm reads .xinitrc. I may be wrong about that. I haven't
used xdm for a long time.
