Why will all you people ever do this? Ctrl-Alt-F1(F2 ... F6) will get you to the console (if you of some reason are suspicious of xterm/rxvt etc.), Alt-F7 will get you back to X. Some graphical logins like gdm or wdm give you the opportunity to shutdown. So I could never understand all these efforts to start X with startx. On the other hand, if you nevertheless don't want to start X upon boot, why then use a graphical login at all -- you *are* already logged in when doing `startx', aren't you? Then the most easy thing is `dpkg --purge xdm', far easier than all those methods I read about in this thread. Wondering, joachim
