After installation KDE is automatically started. Is it possible to use 'console login'?

Yes, it's in the faq. (See, this is why I think that the faq should be part of the forums though others disagree.) :) (cough cough)

Not to mention that to direct you to the faq I have to open another tab, go to the faq page, expand all categories and find it as opposed to going to the index of the forums.

Anyway the faq answer is at

This really works but... After commenting this line this it's unable to start kde by startx. When I type startx primitive x-manager is enabled... To be honest I am able to use:
su
root_password
kdm

But how can I use console login, and when I type startx (as ordinary user) KDE is launched?

Thank You for Help.

As ordinary user, create an .xinitrc file in your home directory.

That is, if you're user bob, type cd at a command prompt. This puts you in your home directory.

Type

echo "startkde" >> .xinitrc

That should do it.
