I think this a variation on the RH/gdm FAQ: "How do I have my server in 'dumb terminal' mode but my LTSP terminals in full GUI mode"?
The solution is to set the runlevel to 5, but use gdmconfig to stop X running locally. Choose the 'Expert' options tab, then select 'X-server setup', select the '0 /usr/sbin/X11/X' entry, and press 'Delete Server'. 'Apply', and 'Close'. Ignore the warning messages. Your LTSP server should now boot up in 'dumb terminal' mode, and your LTSP clients will still have a graphical gdm login. John p.s. my server also lives in a cupboard (as we call closets in English) - see http://uk.homelinux.org/index.php?s=3 On Wed, 25 Sep 2002 20:09:41 -0500 "Charlie Brown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I recently put my LTSP server in a closet and removed the monitor.
