You may be able to disable Gnome by telling init to start using a different runlevel. You should have a line in /etc/inittab like id:2:initdefault where the 2 indicates to start with runlevel 2. The runlevel is often used to determine which initialization scripts should be run, and x may not be started with a lower runlevel. I am not sure how RedHat works, though, so someone can correct me... --Michael Gorse / ICQ:22583968 / http://mgorse.home.dhs.org On Sat, 8 Sep 2001, Jude DaShiell wrote: > When I boot now, I hear lilo, then I hear boot, then I hear loading linux, > then I hear the at sign, and all the rest is silence.
