Anyone have an idea? To alwasy start gdm when the machine starts, edit /etc/inittab. Change the line "id:3:initdefault:" to "id:5:initdefault:". The number is the runlevel to start, where 3 is console, and 5 is X. This should do it unless I misunderstood the question? > > Steve > Eric Burke > > -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
