Bypassing the GUI or what? Because hardware detection is going to initiate during the bootup process, it's almost impossible. Unless you want to bypass logging into the GUI so that you can tailor the configuration prior to actually starting XWindows - but you'd have to put your system into runlevel 3 so that it starts up with all the normal multiuser services and processes; then you can start the GUI as desired? -- Thu Jul 10 22:25:00 EST 2003 22:25:00 up 3 days, 23:57, 2 users, load average: 0.02, 0.09, 0.08 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1 & RH 7.3 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * Garbage In -- Gospel Out.
