Re: how to stop gdm?
Hello, I solved this same problem using linuxconf. it has option in booting whether to use text mode / graphical mode. I don't know what it exactly does but must be restricting the runlevel to text.

Re: how to stop gdm?
Remove gdm and task-helix-gnome. Task-helix-gnome is an empty package that is dependent on the helix-gnome packages; installing task-helix-gnome forces the helix-gnome packages to be installed to satisfy the dependencies. Removing any one of the task installed packages forces the removal of the task package itself, but does not affect any of the other packages. pbb On Tuesday 30 January 2001 17:24, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hello, > > I recently installed helix-gnome and would rather not have gdm load auto- > matically.

That'll happen to remove the task package, but that's okay; it's empty, like all other task packages, and removing the task package won't remove anything that it depends on (e.g. all of the rest of GNOME). -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mit.edu/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.

Remove /etc/rc2.d/Sgdm , where is a number(so there are two of them ;). It's probably 20. David Barclay Harris, Clan Barclay Aut agere, aut mori. (Either action, or death.)

how to stop gdm?
Hello, I recently installed helix-gnome and would rather not have gdm load auto- matically. With xdm I could just remove xbase, then xdm so prevent it from starting but with gdm, dpkg would not allow it not unless I remove task-helix-gnome :( what can I do? Hoping for some kind of advice. Thank you.
