Its possible - yes but I think unlikley. I am ASSUMING
that the install built /etc/inittab correctly. The next
step would be to comment out all the respawinings of mingetty
for ttys 2-6 and see what happens.
Of course if the user isn't trying to fire up Sx or Cx
{where x E [0..k] } devices requiring a getty then the virtual
consoles are the only choice. Also, the user is encourgaged to
take a peek at the rc file which was causing some grief.
