(Of course you have to have kdm installed for this to work :-). Note this is just the login manager. You aren't forced to use KDE, you just get a better login screen. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
