To replace xdm by kdm?

Could anybody please teach me how to replace the xdm login interface, by kdm? I'm running a Debian Sarge. Thanks!

Thanks a lot to all!
For other novices as I am, bobbens advice did work: since already having installed kdm, I only used

Code:

# dpkg-reconfigure kdm

It followed a one window dialog to choose between kdm and xdm; that's all.
Thanks again!
