Re: start xdm at boot
Hi Claudio,
the problem is: there is no /etc/init.d/xdm file
These are the contents of /etc/init.d/
orion:/etc/init.d# ls
acpid ifupdown mtab.sh skeleton
alsa ifupdown-clean networking ssh
alsa-utils keymap.sh nfs-common stop-bootlogd
autofs killprocs nis stop-bootlogd-single
bootclean klogd openbsd-inetd sysklogd
bootlogd libdevmapper1.02 portmap udev
bootmisc.sh makedev procps.sh udev-mtab
checkfs.sh module-init-tools rc umountfs
checkroot.sh modutils rc.local umountnfs.sh
console-screen.sh mountall-bootclean.sh rcS umountroot
cron mountall.sh README urandom
glibc.sh mountdevsubfs.sh reboot x11-common
halt mountkernfs.sh rmnologin
hostname.sh mountnfs-bootclean.sh sendsigs
hwclock.sh mountnfs.sh single
Thanks and Regards,
Arvind
