[CLUE-Tech] Booting to XDM Red Hat?

[ian]

You are correct.  It is init level 5 for Red Hat 7.0 at least.

Check out the /etc/inittab.

There is a line in the inittab that directly relates to respawning xdm.  Don't change that one.

In the RedHat scripts if you want to change to kdm or xdm or gdm go in and edit the
/etc/sysconfig/desktop file and change it to KDE (kdm) or GNOME (gdm).

The next reboot will do it then.
