46 <para>KDE comes with a graphical login interface called KDM (the KDE Display
47 Manager), which provides a customizable graphical login at boot. To use KDM,
48 you need to edit your <filename>/etc/inittab</filename> file (as the
49 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user).
50 First, setup run-level 5 to start KDM (adjust
51 the path to kdm according to your system):</para>
