There is a simple way to do this. In the file /etc/rc.conf, look for |
| 19 |
this at the end: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
|

# Defaults depending on what you install currently include: |
| 23 |
# |
| 24 |
# Gnome - will start gnome-session |
| 25 |
# kde-<version> - will start startkde (ex: kde-3.0.2) |
| 26 |
# Xsession - will start a terminal and a few other nice apps |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
#XSESSION=Gnome |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Uncomment the last line and change it to 'kde-<version>' as it says. |
| 32 |
Whenever you run startx or kdm, it should start up KDE. |
