I am trying to get garnome up and running and with it, of course, X. can
somebody using debian remind me how one keeps X from starting at boot. I though
i remembered it as being to not have xdm on your system, but neither apt-get or
dpkg like the idea of my getting rid of xdm and leaving the main package. I do
know how to get out of X if I do boot up with it, but I would prefer not to do
so at this stage.
Thanks.
Cheryl

I didn't have a problem removing xdm, but you can just remove or rename the link in /etc/rc2.d. Note: this assumes you are still booting into run level 2. Hope this helps.

I don't have the line you give, but i have id:2:initdefault: which makes sense if 2 is my default run level. Can I change that from 2 to 5 without causing a problem? Thanks. cheryl ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

I',m sure your solution will work in Redhat, but she is using Debian. Debian treats run levels differently than Redhat.
