46 | <para>KDE comes with a graphical login interface called KDM (the KDE Display
|
---|
47 | Manager). KDM 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 by adding the following line (adjust
|
---|
51 | the path to kdm according to your system):</para>
|
---|
52 |
|
---|
53 | <screen><userinput>kd:5:respawn:/opt/kde4/bin/kdm</userinput></screen>
|
---|
54 |
|
---|
55 | <para>Additionally, you need to change the default run-level from 3 to 5. This
|
---|
56 | is done by changing the line:</para>
|
---|
57 |
|

58 | <screen><userinput>id:3:initdefault:</userinput></screen>
