Subject: HOWTO: Getting KDM working on OpenLinux (by... gody?)

Okay, back by popular demand...

Here is the original document sent here that details how to get kdm to work. 

(I didn't write this; I just kept it so I could put it on our web site when
time permitted.  As you may have gathered, time hasn't permitted yet, so
here it is...)


-----Forwarded message from Caldera-list <caldera@master.slon.net>-----

OK here is my step by step instruction for kdm to work on 1.3:

mkdir /opt/kde/config
cd /opt/kde/config
mkdir kdm
cd kdm
mkdir authdir
ln -s /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config .
cd /opt/kde/bin
=====================
joe (edit) startkde
put:

export KDEDIR=/opt/kde
export PATH=/opt/kde/bin:$PATH  

after the first line so it looks like:

#!/bin/sh
export KDEDIR=/opt/kde
export PATH=/opt/kde/bin:$PATH

kaudioserver &
kwmsound &

kfm &
kcontrol -init &

kbgndwm &
krootwm &
kpanel &

kwm     
======================================================

cd /etc/X11/xdm
edit Xsetup_0
At Your discretion comment out xconsole line and add:
/opt/kde/bin/kdmdesktop

edit Xsession
after:

case $1 in
        failsafe)
                exec xterm -geometry 80x24-0-0
                ;; 

Insert:
	kde)
		exec /opt/kde/bin/startkde
		;;	

To look like:

case $# in
1)
        case $1 in
        failsafe)
                exec xterm -geometry 80x24-0-0
                ;;
        kde)
                exec /opt/kde/bin/startkde
                ;;
        esac
esac 

====================================================================

That's all folks.

Eric, will You put this on Your web ?
