(mainly for the archives) on a Debian system, the runlevels are all identical (by default). if you don't want to run xdm/kdm/gdm on a Debian system, just don't install them (or remove them if you already have). (either "apt-get remove xdm" or "dpkg --remove xdm") -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
