Sorry I wasn't clear enough, I meant the login screen for X. I realize I need
to login, I just wanted to start at command prompt instead of X. Already got
the answer though.

Hi Civileme,
You are right of course and I wasn't considering to start doing this.
But I was curious just about how far Linux would be configurable. Pretty
far apparently.
Thanks for the insight.

Possibly...but what's the use in running Linux if you're just going to run
it in Single-User modeI don't even think you'll be allowed VTs 2+!

Hi,
Wouldn't it be possible to change that 3 to a 2 or a 1? Then, he wouldn't need

Go to a command line shell.
Type "linuxconf".
Scroll down until you see "Boot Mode". You can choose text or
graphical.

Are you talking about the logon screen with that cute ASCII graphic of Tux?
If so, no, this would be the minimum screen. One of the security features
of Linux is you 'must' log on and be authenticated.
If you are talking about coming up with an X logon screen just edit the
'inittab' file line th
Sure.
Login as root, and edit /etc/inittab. About
17 lines down, is a line:
id:5:initdefault
Change the 5 to a 3, and you will now boot
to the init level 3, which is the command prompt.
Take care.
