GUI for Slackware

[johnmann]

I have Slack 8 and think it is pretty cool. However,I would like KDM to "login" and "logout" instead of always typing "startx" or the "shutdown" commands.How would I do this?

start your system in run level 4 for x login
(eg run the init 4 command or switch your setup by running the "setup" prog =P)

To be slightly more useful, you need to change the beginning of your /etc/inittab to the following:

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

Slackware defaults with:
id:3:initdefault:

Which is actually the sensible thing to do, because you can make sure you can get X running before defaulting into GUI mode.

or you could just type kdm :)
