Open some decent text editor that you like, then open the file, /etc/inittab. Scroll down some and there you'll find a line which goes id:5:...and so on. Just change that 5 to 3 and save the file. The next time you boot, u'll get the bash(or whatever u're using) shell. HTH Sthitaprajna @mailandnews.com

Re: [newbie] No login after installing StarOffice!
What I did without pbs: Reinstall as root Staroffice; before remove the '.sversionrc' file. Get the java runtime environment 'jre117'.(from blackdown.org : JRE_1.1.7-V1a-glibc-x86.tar.gz, and of course untar it) To complete the installation of Java on Linus before running the application 'soffice': 1. open the file Office51/bin/soffice (or soffice in the corresponding server directory for a network installation) 2. in this file depending on the path of your Java components set the environment JAVA_HOME with a command like the following: JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jre117_vla; export JAVA_HOME 3.you must then also change the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as follows: sd_arch='uname -m' #e.g. i586 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib/$sd_arch/native_treahds:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH. As user: 4. set you link as follows (under Execute): /opt/Office51/bin/soffice %f 5. run soffice (only) as user. Hope this help you.

If it does, then just edit your /etc/inittab Find the line: id:5:initdefault and change the 5 to a 3 Then you will always boot in text mode and you can just give the startx command.
