Why is almost everything using the alternatives-method but not the (K|G|W|X)DM programs (somthing like x-desktop-manager). It's a cool feature and much cleaner than starting up to 4 DM-Scripts at start-up. 2. Why is X startet in almost every runlevel (2,3,4,5). Sometimes I want to go to a multiuser non-X runlevel (also when booting the computer) though thats not possible without removing the Symbolic links from e.g runlevel 2 manually or making them kill-scripts. Hendrik Sattler PS: This is not a complaint but a question for my own understaing of the underlying thoughts of the ways it was done. -- PingoS - Linux-User helfen Schulen http://www.pingos.schulnetz.org Besucht mich auf meiner Webseite: http://sattler.webhop.org ----- End forwarded message ----- -- G.
