+I am also confronted with the problem of the installation of kdm,
+ by default (bug 3060).
+
+Here is my problem:
+I am a user of Xfce and for the moment, drakinstall does not allow
+ a direct installation of Xfce.
+I thus pass by the following stages:
+- Choice of a personalized desktop
+- Then, in the following window, the deletion of all the groups of packages.
+- Finally, in the last window, the selection of: with X server and with urpmi.
+Here is for the procedure.
+
+I noticed that, by default, the display manager is kdm, with all the 
+dependences which result from it.
+It leads to approximately 850 packages.
+
+On the other hand, by imposing lxdm as display manager,
+ the number of packages falls unless 590.
+( My choice went on lxdm because this one is more complete than xdm 
+or slim, without requiring of additional dependences)
+
+To impose lxdm, I just added a line " lxdm " in the file prefer.vendor.list
+included in mdkinst.sqfs. This allows to prefer lxdm as display manager.
