yestarday i installed debian for the first time, and finally i am through this dselect-jungle;-) now i try since a few hours to eliminate this x-as-default-startup-thing. i would like to logon my machine in the console. so i did like i did on my redhat-box, changing in /etc/inittab, but in debian this seems not to work. in xf86config there's no option to change this. anyone else who had to handle this as well?
rm /etc/rc2.d/S99xdm or update-rc.d -f xdm removebut then the next time xdm is upgraded the links will be put back so in that case i would then do
update-rc.d xdm start 5 . stop 0 1 2 3 4 6 .then you have redhat like behaviour, boot to runlevel 5 -> get X otherwise console.
you could always remove xdm too, unless a bunch of other things depend on it for some reason..
