"man xdm" if you already have X windows installed. For xdm to start when system is rebooted add this to /etc/rc.local: sleep 2 /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm & If you can't get into X windows even by running /usr/X11R6/bin/startx then you have an X window config problem and would have to give us more info before we can help you. -- Yan On Sat, 17 Jan 1998, Kevin M.
