I sometimes miss an easy way to say "don't start X", too, although most times I do want it to run.is "rm /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm" not easy enough for you ?Easy enough for me in my system. It would be nice to have a standard wayof telling the system to not start X on any Debian system while keeping X start up being the default without the need of messing with /etc/rc?.d/ and/or /etc/inittab.
It would also make pre-seeded installs easier; we're trying to get this working at the moment at work, but there's a nasty interaction between recent 2.6 kernels, udev, and gdm, causing the X server to wedge (I understand from the person dealing with this that it's because udev hasn't been started at the point in the install that gdm tries to start). Given that the machine is still installing at this point, gdm trying to start up seems a little unnecessary, and a simple way to avoid it would help. Obviously I've given pretty much the same list of suggestions as this thread to the admin doing our Debian desktop installs.
