Unless you know what you're doing be very careful about modifying any
of these files except rc.local (and rc.inet1 to set the IP address/routes)

Put a "setenv PATH ..." command in your .cshrc.  See any good introductory

I'm not sure I understand the question.  You can tell Linux to run xdm
on boot by setting default runlevel in the /etc/inittab file to 4 ie.
id:4:initdefault
xdm is an X-windows based login and display manager\
