Re: stopping x from starting automatically
Hi There,
You can stop xdm from coming on and giving you that little X login window by
removing xdm from /etc/init.d. I just copy things into a subdirctory
/etc/init.d/disabled when I don't want them to start up on boot. That way, if
I ever change my mind, which I often do, I can easily copy them back and get
things restored.
Another way that X is sometimes started automatically is to run startx from a
.login script. If that's the case, just edit the script so it doesn't run
startx.
cheers.
