While all the others have provided you with various solutions... here's the easy one... ;-P There is a command -- update-rc.d -- that controls these things. If you have a service starting at boot that you want to prevent from starting use the following as root: update-rc.d <service> remove it may warn you to use -f to force it in which case: update-rc.d -f <service> remove In your case, if you're using gdm: update-rc.d -f gdm remove this will remove all the symlinks to gdm in all the runlevels so that gdm will not start at boot-up. If you want to put it back later: update-rc.d gdm defaults please see man update-rc.d for details. A
