where is kdm ?

Hi,

I'd like to use kdm as display manager, but I can't find it ! kde is emerged, but `locate kdm` can only find the kdmrc in the kde-base portage tree.
What should I emerge to get kdm ??
Is there a way, in Gentoo, to know in which package to find a program ? (something equivalent to dpkg -S or rpm -f ).

Thanks,
Fred.

I believe KDM is in KDE-BASE, i could be wrong, but i do know you can't emerge it separatly, installing it yourself from a none portage type location is a possible solution (although not recommended in my lazy appinion :wink:

),
or you could be really adventurous and make an ebuild for it :twisted:

Oh well, I'm sure I did `emerge kde`. But when I lately checked `emerge -p kde`, some packages were shown as N... So I relaunched emerge kde, and kdm is finally there.
Sorry for the noise
