My login problem is happening at the kdm level before the OS is even started (I think). How does one activate /deactivate the initial login screen. I know this is possible. I think I set this up when I initially installed Debian from the iso network installation disk. I probably prompted me through the process at the time. I have since completely forgotten what I did at the time. I think I need to re configure kdm somehow. Gary R. |
