I don't think so. In linux you get all the processes with ps -ax. There are, however, a lot more options. You might read the manual page with `man ps' :) If you are running xdm (get an X-Windows login screen to login right away after starting your PC) the way to stop it is - switch to a virtual console, e.g. by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 (*) - login as root - stop xdm by typing /etc/init.d/xdm stop - do your configuring - check your new configuration with startx (don't use xdm for testing, it is much harder to stop if things go really wrong) - if it works, exit the Xsession - restart xdm typing /etc/init.d/xdm start (*) This is not mandatory, but more convenient. Read every document you can find on configuring X beforehand. It is not bad idea to create a runlevel that does not start xdm, in case to have to reset when _really_ screwing up X. Anyone know why such a run-level isn't defined by default? Hope this helps, Eric Meijer -- E.L.
