hey thanks! i didn't expect an answer on this one ;-) i used update-rc.d -f gdm remove to remove all the symlinks...now, my problem is how to get the whole script back, i tried apt-get install --reinstall gdm but that gives me: [...] update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/gdm: file does not exist dpkg: error processing gdm (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [...] it works fine if i first touch /etc/init.d/gdm only that doesn't do the job obviously because it doesn't recreate /etc/init.d/gdm --how can i get that file back??? (and i thorougly learnt my lesson: do not manually remove scripts! hehe) thanks! -vester
