ATM, it goes straight to a gnome login asking me for my user pw. I didn't note if there was a session clicker or not. My mistake I expect.
I don't know about gdm, but tdm and lightdm both will auto-login to whatever desktop you last logged in to. To switch, logout, then select the session type at the display manager's login screen, and login.
Well, ATM I'm ready to shoot all the neighborhood cats. Something is shutting the stretch system off in about 5 minutes of mouse or keyboard inactivity, so I've had to recompose an install list and restart synaptic 5 or 6 times now.
Then, to add insult to injury, the default system partition it sets up during the install for /, when you ask it for a separate /home, on a 2 terabyte drive is 30 GB. Hell's bells, my amanda database alone is 70GB, and its a backup of /usrlocal/etc/amanda and /usr/local/var/amanda! So I makes no sense to have less than 500GB for the / partition.
I have never had ant great success at pre-partitioning a drive, the installer never accepts what you so carefully lay out with gparted, and the SOB uses so archaic a syntax you never know exactly what you have until the install is done, but I've got to try one more time if I can't get gparted to move stuff around and make it work. Right now I've wasted 14 hours on this and have yet to see a tde login. I've got some tde stuff, but its all sitting on a gnome screen. Grrrrr. Later, as in sometime tomorrow IF gparted can fix it.
