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. Additional info:
So what's probably happening is you're ending up in runlevel 3. Can you attach your /etc/inittab ?
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.
This will be fixed in the next build of anaconda.
