I want to use Slim (simple login manager) instead of whatever the default is.
I installed it. I couldn't figure out how to use it, so I followed the instructions in
this tutorial.
My /etc/inittab now looks like this (sorry about the length):
# /etc/inittab
# inittab This file describes how the INIT process should set up
# the system in a certain run-level.
#
# Originall by Patrick volkerdi (Slackware)
# Modified by Eko M. Budi for Vector Linux
# 0 = halt
# 1 = single user mode : minimum HW
# 2 = multiuser text desktop : network
# 3 = multiuser text server : network, servers
# 4 = multiuser GUI desktop : network, X-window
# 5 = multiuser GUI server : network, servers, X-window
# 6 = reboot
#
# This is only for VL Dynamite
# 7/8 = autologin boot ! : HACKING :P
#
# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6 !)

It works, but I now have two problems. I have to su to root and manually start the wicd daemon, for some reason it doesn't run at startup. When I press the logout button in my window manager (Icewm) it kills all applications but nothing else happens. The only way to logout/shutdown/ is to press the power button on my computer.
