login manager question


Using Mandrake 10.0, how do I get it to use GDM instead of KDM? I think that GDM is a little better looking, plus I use gnome anyway.

First, install GDM is not installed by default

from console:
urpmi gdm

Once installed, go to Mandrake Control Center (mcc from console) and in system/login manager change to gdm. System will ask about restarting dm service, restart it and you're done

cheers
