You can do it that way, but it isn't the proper way. It's generally a bad idea to mess with files in /etc/init.d because they may be needed in more than one runlevel. Leave the files in /etc/init.d alone, and go into /etc/rc2.d and remove the S**xdm file, which is really a link to /etc/init.d/xdm Then you can go into /etc/rc3.d and do 'ln -s /etc/init.d/xdm S99xdm' Once you've done that, you can telinit 3 to start up the graphical X login, and telinit 2 to go back. jpb -- Joe Block <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CREOL System Administrator Social graces are the packet headers of everyday life.
