Actually, it starts up X *and* th

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

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:
update-rc.d -f xdm remove(as root, of cou
If you don't want xdm at all, easier just to:
$ dpkg --purge xdm

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.

Hello,
Is there some reason xdm and gdm are linked from /etc/rc.2 and
/etc/rc.3? I thought only runlevel 5 was supposed to start X by
default. I remove these links myself, but it seems like making this
default would be real easy, and would make Debian that much more
standard.

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
update-rc.d -f xdm remove

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 th
