Then you don't understand how the runlevels are organised in Debian. I have explained this in previous posts. X is started in all run-levels 2-5. You can stop this by reading 'man update-rc.d' for all or any run-levels. > What I was wondering about is that in /etc/inittab there are only > getty's started (per system default) on all 6 VC's for runlevel 2 & 3, > not for runlevel 4 & 5.

Runlevel 4 is reserved (thank you, Sun!) so that you can do what you like with it. It's there for you to define your own runlevel sequence. > Not that I'm bothered or want to question it or so.
