Newbie Question

I would like for my Slack 10 system to boot straight to KDM and not to the command line. I read that I need to have my system boot to runlevel 4. In newbie instructions.....how do I do this?

Thanks in advance!

Look using your favourite editor in /etc/inittab for:

Code:

# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6)
id:3:initdefault:

and change that to:

Code:

# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6)
id:4:initdefault:

Then open your /etc/rc.d/rc.4 and comment following lines like the example:

Code:

# Try to use GNOME's gdm session manager:
#if [ -x /usr/bin/gdm ]; then
#  exec /usr/bin/gdm -nodaemon
#fi

That's it
