I have just updated to kde 3.2.3 using swaret

I was hoping it would give the pretty log in box that you get with knoppix and mandrake. Also the ability to log off linux directly from kde rather than just logging out from kde and having to to shutdown from the command line. Is there anything I can do to get these.

I am running runmode 3

Alan

The "pretty login box" is called KDM. You get that if you select
init 4 as your default runlevel, and change the order of gdm,
kdm in /etc/rc.d/rc.4 ...

Alternatively, put /opt/kde/bin/kdm in /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Thanks.
Of course I meant to write runmode 4

I do not know if this makes any sense. I have looked at etc/rc.d.rc.4 and it looke that I have changed the order in the past.

# All done.

Sorry. I am an idiot. I had jst swapped the letter k and g without swapping the paths.
