You can not keep a "terminal" because that depends on X. You can, however, switch to "console" only mode. On Redhat/Fedora or a similar distro: "init 3" will temporarily switch you to full services minux X. Be aware, however, that it will stop and start services besides just X. You can modify /etc/inittab to make 3 your permanent run level. Just change id:5:initdefault: to id:3:initdefault: Some distros have different opinions of which run level means what. -- Stuart Jansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED], AIM:StuartMJansen> "[I]ncoherence is one of the luxuries of impotence.
