that did the trick, thanks.

So I can now run gdm.  Since the computer only has 192mb of memory, it
is barely usable and rather slow  (I will have to manually turn on the
swap partition; is that planned for the final version to do during the
boot like Knoppix would do?).

The only issue I ran into is that it doen't seem to configure my sound
card (SB Live).
