A newbie with installing FreeBSD 5.3...I installed X and got excited to direcly log on to X (xdm) with the dialog box. I modified the lineto turn xterm on: ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm - nodaemon" xterm ON secure. Now I am stuck in a login loop... I would like to configure X and install KDE, but it is stuck on the ChooseSessionListWidet I can only choose 2 options DEFAULT/FAIL SAFE and CANCEL and nothing happens in either case... hitting CTRL+ALT_+BKSPACE does nothing How do I just login to the command prompt without X opening directly?? I think I tried option 6 and it gives me a command prompt but I cannot edit any file. Thanks in advance. Mike
