This is absolutely ridiculous.
Either you have no idea how Linux and specifically Gentoo works, or, you are a
complete moron. Sorry about the last, but telling people to add kdm to
local.start doesn't:
a) keep X from starting. kdm USES X.
b) Even if kdm didn't use X, adding kdm to local.start is no solution.
You should make a new runlevel.
# mkdir /etc/runlevels/i_hate_x
# cp /etc/runlevels/default/* /etc/runlevels/i_hate_x
# rc-update del xdm default
Now, when you start your box, X (gdm, kdm, xdm) won't start. If you want to
switch runlevels do:
# rc i_hate_x
For more info, please got to http://www.gentoo.org/ and read Gentoo's
documentation about runlevels and init scripts.
HTH,
Norberto
