Hmm, you should probably go for 2.2 now, if you can ... >I want to shut down X, so that I can do some upgrading of X-related >stuff, without sawing off the branch I'm standing on, so to speak. > >I was advised to try 'init 3', but this does nothing. You've been talking to Red Hat users :) Debian has a different runlevel architecture, so there's no non-X runlevel. Try '/etc/init.d/xdm stop' to shut down the X Display Manager. I wasn't around at the time of Debian 2.0, so if /etc/init.d/xdm didn't exist then look through /etc/init.d and see if there's anything similar. Alternatively, you could always just Ctrl-Alt-F1 and log in there; even if X dies it won't matter, as you won't be depending on it. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
