First of all that's not question for debian-project mailing list. Short instruction: Press CTRL+ALT+F1 and then log in as root. Then type: /etc/init.d/gdm stop GDM could be replaced with kdm, wdm or xdm. It depends on previous choices. That'll be time when your X will be switched off. You can continue your installation. Please ask further questions on debian-user-<language> mailing list. regards fenIo -- ,''`.
