Debian is not setup to run like that. update-rc.d -f gdm remove That removes the Gnome Display Manager from running (and henceforth X) If you want Multi-User CLI mode... just make sure SSH is installed. The create accounts on the machine for the users. I strenuously object to and strongly discourage the use of telnet, ftp or rsh (the plain text versions) In any case you can define 0 or 6 to be full multi-user or what ever you want. It is just the "well practiced normal procedure" for 0 (shutdown) and 6(reboot) to be that way. You could have init level "61" if you defined it properly. There are about 2^64 (maybe more, maybe less) ways to manage services and applications on startup in any *NIX machine OS... but that is far more than you asked for. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux
