IMHO, if you dont want X to start up on boot, then why do you want to install
xdm?? If it
is not installed, it doesnt make the links

Is there some reason xdm and gdm are linked from /etc/rc.2 and

You can do it that way, but it isn't the proper way. It's generally a
bad idea to mess with files in /etc/init.d because they may be needed in

Leave the files in /etc/init.d alone, and go into /etc/rc2.d and

If you don't want xdm at all, easier just to:
$ dpkg --purge xdm

That will work, but if KDE debs are installed, they require that xdm be
installed, so the best way to deal with it (for a KDE user) is:

You remove it from /etc/init.d or more safely you remove the symlink from your
present runlevel. This is as default 2 on Debian whih meens the you will have
to remove /etc/rc2.d/S99xdm which is
update-rc.d -f xdm remove

Hi There,
You can stop xdm from coming on and giving you that little X login window by
removing xdm from /etc/init.d. I just copy things into a subdirctory
/etc/init.d/disabled when I don't want them to start up on boot. That way, if
I ever change my mind, which I often do, I can easily copy

You want to go into /etc/init.d and move xdm to /root (or some other
out-of-the-way) directory. Then run update-rc.d xdm remove to take care of
the rc.d symlinks.
