RE: X in startup
nope doesnt disable X just prevents it from starting automatically as part
of the INIT process of linux.
read the article http://www.egroups.com/files/newbieDoc/runlevels-intro.html
mentioned on this list earlier today for more info.
so startx should work fine (if you have setup your config files properly)
cheers,
david

does this disable X? what if you still want to
run X from the command line using startx?
(i'm asking because I don't have X installed
right now, but will in a few weeks..)
thanks!!
