Due to repeated failures on freshly burned CD's I ended up doing a minimal install and adding packages as I needed over the network.
I am curious about why startup scripts for /etc/init.d weren't packaged with kdm or gdm when I added them.
Anyone have any ideas?
I can make them myself but just curious why they weren't created.
Are they part of another package? Auto created by some other tool?

kdm/gdm aren't started by the runlevel scripts, they're started by inittab. Last three lines of /etc/inittab on my system:
# Run xdm in runlevel 5 # xdm is now a separate service x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
(this selects between kdm/gdm/others using a system config option)

Little more looking and it seems it is just staying at runlevel 3 on bootup.
I can address this.

Because there are no startup and shutdown scripts for gdm/kdm. They're run out of /etc/inittab (check the bottom, specifically the runlevel 5 stuff).

Moreover, if you have it started from a init script, it will start before all the mingettys run; gdm will start on tty2.
