Manual intervention is going to be needed in any case. |
| 22 |
The display manager inits are independent scripts and need to be installed |
| 23 |
manually as none of the display managers have a dependency on it. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
In which case it makes sense to also make it clear what these scripts are |
| 26 |
for and to not overload the xdm term for both the actual dm and also the |
| 27 |
init script. |
