several ways.
delete the link /etc/rc2.d/S99xdm
move the link /etc/rc2.d/S99xdm
rename the link /etc/rc2.d/S99xdm to K99xdm (someone else suggested this i
think i've never tried it)
run update-rc.d remove xdm (i believe thats right, again never tested it)
remove xdm with apt/dpkg.
see the archives someone just asked this a couple days ago
