Adding Logi Mgr

Following wiki (Adding a login mgr) tried adding kdm to daemon list but no go.  Tried changing init default to 5 and changing x:5:respawn.../xdm -nodaemon to x:5:respawn..../kdm -nodaemon and boot up message says can't do this---leaving me at login screen.  Pacman -Ss kdm said no such blah-blah in database.  Pacman -S kdm likewise no such blah-blah in database.   Seems like kdm is missing....  Did full install from 0.7 cd and mainly use kde.  Suggestions pls. :?

Re: Adding Logi Mgr

kdm is in the kdebase package.
In /etc/inittab,
change

id:3:initdefault:

to

id:5:initdefault:

and change

x:5:respawn:/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon

to

x:5:respawn:/opt/kde/bin/kdm

I think the problem is the -nodaemon in the kdm line.
