no idea how redhat works but im sure ..(comment cut out here) debian defaults to runlevel 2 (which is a low runlevel no doubt) to disable XDM for starting erase /etc/rc2.d/S99xdm (it may be named something else like S98xdm but the 'xdm' is the key here)
next time you enter that runlevel, X won't start. nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Mon, 1 Nov 1999, Hongyu Lu wrote: > I am a new user to Debian.
