    I had to reinstall libernet 2.7 due to apg-get refusing to install, remove,
    or ignore a program. After reinstall things looked good and I started to
    rebuild. I did a update and upgrade which went well. Then I went to KDE
    and started pkg manager and did 2 or 3 sessions of installing various
    programs, which also went well. Then apitude falted on a program while
    installing after downloading and hung, would not continue. I exited and
    later returned and did a apt-get update && apt-get install and three
    different programs were downloaded and none were installed. Then I
    discovered that I could not enter gnome or KDE because startx put me into
    icewm instead of the greeter. I discovered that I no longer had gdm, kdm or
    xdm. Therefore I downloaded gdm and still could now get into gdm. Then I
    edited gdm config file and tryed again. No luck. I would like to get back
    to the greeter so I can select KDE or Gnome . How?
    Regards;
    Hoyt
