As root: $ update-rc.d -f xdm remove $ ln -s /etc/init.d/xdm /etc/rc6.d/K20xdm #need at least one link Whether or not a particular service/daemon runs in a particular runlevel is controlled by the symbolic links from /etc/rc?.d/<[S|K][NN]package> to /etc/init.d/<package>. See /usr/doc/sysvinit/README.runlevels.gz, man update-rc.d. Alternatively, you could just remove xdm (apt-get remove xdm). Remember, you can switch from the X Virtual Terminal to a Console with Ctrl-Alt-F[1..6]. xdm usually runs on VT 7, but others like gdm might be running on VT 8. -- ¶ One·should·only·use·the·ASCII·characterset·when·compos » ing·email·messages.
