If you remove the package 'xdm' it will have to stop doing that. I'm not sure it that's the recommended way or not. Or you could hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 when X it starts. That leaves X running, but switches you to another virtual terminal that is not running X. On Thu, 5 Aug 1999, Daniel Yang wrote: > When my Linux boots, it starts X window automatically.
