What would be the best DM to install initially, to be later superceded by KDE3? I'd like to avoid KDE4 and Plasma as much as possible.
I traditionally minimally install X with IceWM, but I don't bother trying to use it before installing KDE3 with zypper. /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager (DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm3") and /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager (DEFAULT_WM="startkde") need to be configured, [snip] This worked quite nicely, and I was able to replace SDDM, though I seem to be stuck with the icky "Build with OpenSuSE Studio" theme, with no apparent way to get rid of that. I've looked at Personal Settings -> System Administration -> Login Manager, but I can't figure out how it specifies this image; turning off the background image doesn't get rid of it; nor does changing the GUI Style or Color Scheme in the Appearance tab. Any suggestions?
Also, what is the best way to get the restricted codecs installed? The available One-Click options don't seem work with a KDE3-only system.
I generally try hard to avoid using 1-click. I configure my repos manually and get what openSUSE's repos don't provide from Packman, plus libdvdcss2 from opensuse-guide.org. Following these instructions https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/526222-Multimedia-Guide-for-openS... worked much better than the 1-Click instructions, and my audio is now working again. I'm feeling a bit better about OpenSuSE again now; I was seriously contemplating installing Ubuntu and trying TrinityDE again...
