So how DO you stop X after it boots, anyhow…or prevent it from booting? Ctrl-alt-backspace shuts it down, but it reloads instantly. I have been trying to figure this out for several days, and wonder if maybe I should just switch distros.
Seems like a silly reason to switch distros. To stop X, just run: /etc/init.d/[gxk]dm stop To stop it permanently, remove /etc/rc2.d/S99[gxk]dm Since Debian defaults to run level 2, you will then boot to a text console. If you want to boot to a graphical log in prompt, then tell the system to use runlevel 3, 4, or 5 at boot. As a final alternative, you can just remove the [gxk]dm package(s). -Roberto -- Roberto C.
