Sorry -- you're about 101.5 yards over my head. I wasn't even thinking about installs nor spins. Maybe that means I shouldn't be trying this. /etc/sysconfig does not presently contain any file nor folder called desktop. If I create a file, with just those two lines, and call it that, will something read it and comply?? Or is */sysconfig/desktop some generic standard that I ought to know about to be doing this? > You can edit the config files ( in /etc/kde/kdm ) yourself but it is > easier to login to kde and then use the graphical settings system to > change things. Hmmm ... I was hoping to be able to change just that one thing, and not have to use KDE otherwise at all. (I run Konqueror, mainly for man pages, and K3B -- and as little else from KDE as I can; but I concur in not liking the present gnome login.) > I guess that if you are spinning an iso and wanted kdm to be the default > then you would have to alter a source file somewhere but I have not > delved into that. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
