I hate Plymouth as much as I hate KDE4. Whatever pimp-faced form-over-function moron who decided to inflict this crap upon us obviously doesn't use encrypted hard disks. I do, so the damn thing keeps failing and forcing me to boot several times until the damn thing finally boots correctly. I am absolutely sick of it, it has to go.
But there is no 'kdm' program installed and there doesn't seem to be any for me to install in Adept Manager either. How am I going to boot into KDE3/Trinity when I finally get rid of Plymouth?
TIA

Look for kdm-kde3 or kdm-trinity, depending on whether you use Debian or Ubuntu. kdm-kde3 would be in in /etc/init on Ubuntu, as the older SysV init system has been largely replaced with the faster Upstart system, whereas kdm-trinity is still in /etc/init.d/ under Debian.
Hope this helps,
