Your init files probably start 'xdm' at startup. To fix this, look in /etc/inittab for a line like this: # The default runlevel. id:2:initdefault: The number 2 beteen the colons means that my default runlevel is 2. To see what programs start up in runlevel 2 I do this: $ ls /etc/rc2.d/ If you see something like "SS99xdm" then this means xdm will be started on startup in runlevel 2, the standard default runlevel in Debian. To prevent xdm from being started, you can do this: mv SS99xdm xSS99xdm After that you have to start X with "startx". -- Hugh Lawson Greensboro, North Carolina [EMAIL PROTECTED]
