Hello: I want to replace getty with mingetty as it uses minimal resources. I tried changing getty to mingetty in /etc/inittab but it did not work. How do I go about it on a Debian 2.0 box. hmm... works for me in Debian 2.0. Just remove any options concerned with getty speed. Below is part of my /etc/inittab. And don't forget to install mingetty 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1 2:23:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2 ... Why is Debian using getty as the default instead of mingetty which is the default in a Red Hat box ? i have no idea ragOO, VU2RGU. OK
