Thank you and hopefully i can make this work ... I added it but then on request i have removed it and curiously there is no kdmdesktop in the bin directory for some reason Hi! 1. Well instead of pressing enter you can let the timeout occur. Standard is 10 seconds. If this is still too long add the following line to /boot/loader.conf: autoboot_delay=SECONDS However I would not go too short here, since you might want to able to go to i.e. single user mode. 2. If I understand that right you want a graphical login right from the start?! To do this edit the file /etc/ttys. In the line of your login manager like xdm or kdm make sure it's says "on", like: ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure 3. I dont know what you did with Xsession or Xsetup_0 (I left mine default) but if you want your user andrei to use KDE simply add exec startkde to his .xinitrc. That should do the job.
