Let me speculate - I must speculate because I didn't have the time to look deeper in the system: the ttys aren't completely initialized but but it is "told" to every other startup script which waits on ttys that it everything is initialized. > Is > this a kluge that will get messed up hte next time i change anything? > The instructions say to use gdm_enable to start gdm and i dont want > to be doing anything wrong. No there is no wrong thing. Let me say: under UNIX we have the great chance to find for one problem many solutions which all work.=20 I hope the new and the old rc-system will coexist a long time. I my eyes the new rc-system has a great disadvantage: If you want to test a new daemon-process you either have to restart the operating system or you have to set all variables on the command line and then you can test the daemon.=20 Regards J=FCrgen
