RE: Debian X package shouldn't install XDM by default
If that's the case, you boot the machine, dump it into maintenance ('linux
single'), kill the X configuration, and allow the boot to continue. Instant
text console while you fix X.
I agree... xdm and friends should be part of a valid 'task-x-window-system'.
Whether they're part of the core or not... ahh, that's another subject.
