What will, from my great experience, is deleting/disabling the init script that starts the GUI. I believe /etc/init.d is where the GUI comes from, not anything in Grub. I've always installed from a netinstall, without the GUI, so that GUI init doesn't exist on my machines. When it boots after a small netinstall, I see "login:" in the upper left corner. Then I run Aptitude to install XFCE and IceWeasel, to get a few more lines on my terminal and to get to Google, Wikipedia, and the Debian site when I need to. I can type 'startx' if I want to see pictures, but it always boots into the console. That's worked over several stables, on several computers, and for a long time. -- Glenn English -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
