Description chris desjardins 2007-08-07 18:26:34 UTC

Description of problem:
Deselecting GDM during DVD installation causes First Boot to not run and 
instead drops to login prompt.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Deselect GDM during installationg
  
Actual results:
Drops to login screen (i.e. no X)

Expected results:
I have KDE installed (and thus KDM) as I selected it during installation.  I 
would have expected KDM to boot up instead of GDM without issue.  The running 
of this wizard should not depend on whether or not GDM is installed.

So what's probably happening is you're ending up in runlevel 3.

Can you attach your /etc/inittab ?

Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2007-08-07 18:45:21 UTC

This is expected behavior, as we only set the default runlevel to 5 if gdm is
installed.  So the question here is whether we should change that check to be
more permissive.

Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2007-08-07 19:13:47 UTC

This will be fixed in the next build of anaconda.
