Re: Help required for preventing kdm/gdm/xdm from starting



Hi all,

Thanks for your useful help.

About the Gentoo Live CD, I've posted a bug report (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31768) and they will put a fix on their mirrors asap.

Regards,

Pander

Hi all,

I've downgraded my PowerBook G4 12" from unstable to testing and as a result of that X is not working anymore. Not a big problem but, even worse is that it is hanging my system in such a way that I cannot even login blind into a console and prevent kdm/gdm/xdm from starting on the next boot so I can fix the system.

Of course I have a Gentoo Live 1.4 PPC CD to boot from in these cases to fix such problems but since the OSX upgrade to 1.2.8, I cannot boot from this CD either. (Are there more people that cannot boot Gentoo Live PPC anymore on a PowerBook with OSX1.2.8? I'm thinking of filing a bug report at Gentoo on this if this is the case).

So my question is, does debian has a feature, like e.g.Mandrake has, in which you can select what services to start at boot time with simple Y/N questions. Or is there any other way for me to stop kdm/gdm/xdm from starting at boot time? Or is there a way to boot the Gentoo Live CD in another way?

Thanks,

Pander
