Once booted, you can get to a console with Ctl+Alt+Fn? where ? = nos 1 to 6. Alt+Fn7 returns you to the GUI. If you don't want a GUI environment you can uninstall it (suggest you use aptitude - see the manpages) Finally, if you uninstall (x|g|k)dm which provide the GUI login screen, the machine will boot to a command line. $ startx will start the GUI Regards Clive -- www.clivemenzies.co.uk ... ...strategies for business -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
