If anyone is interested, I will put xdm (the X Display Manager) into XFree86.dsl, and resubmit it to ke4nt. Right now, I can't get it working with Xvesa, but I'm still working on it. If I get it working, I will submit a stand alone .dsl for Xvesa.

Minus the manpages, and the Debian logos, it's about 82k.

It does not install as a daemon, but you can add it to /opt/bootlocal.sh and it will work.

If I don't get good reactions, I'm not going to do this, because I know a lot of people are perfectly happy with text login. ^_^

I wonder if it could be added on a permanent basis?

This is nice and would allow users to login from a graphical interface...

Probably wouldnt take much to rolling and since its only 82K thats not that big of an impact on the "core" size
