Re: don't want x as default startup
dear debbies, having a look at all theese reactions about this not-wanted-x-default, i was wondering if this isnt maybe some tipical debian behaviour. if it is tipical debian i would like to leave it (will need to reinstall xdm) , because that just means that i am influenced by redhat-lookandfeel and i do not like that. mek On Thu, 20 Jan 2000, Ethan Benson wrote: > On 20/1/2000 mpx wrote: > > > > >yestarday i installed debian for the first time, and finally i am > >through this dselect-jungle;-) > >now i try since a few hours to eliminate this > >x-as-default-startup-thing. > >i would like to logon my machine in the console. > >so i did like i did on my redhat-box, changing in /etc/inittab, but in > >debian this seems not to work. > >in xf86config there's no option to change this.

Got this from the list:
type: more /etc/inittab
(look for line that says "id:N:initdefault) ("N" is a number)
Remember #
type: cd /etc/rcN.d
type: ls
(look for file "S999xdm")
type: rm S99xdm
This will remove the default X start-up.
I use a text editor to edit the file--easier for me.

Re: don't want x as default startup
Just remove the sym link in the default run level directory in /etc i.e. if the default runlevel is 2, then remove the sym link to S89xdm in the /etc/rc2.d directory. If there's a better way I'm sure others will tell you. You'll find the default run level from /etc/inittab. Hope this helps...

don't want x as default startup
dear debian-users, yestarday i installed debian for the first time, and finally i am through this dselect-jungle;-) now i try since a few hours to eliminate this x-as-default-startup-thing. i would like to logon my machine in the console. so i did like i did on my redhat-box, changing in /etc/inittab, but in debian this seems not to work. in xf86config there's no option to change this. anyone else who had to handle this as well? mek
