I've gathered Debian starts in run level 2 and from there X is started.
How do I change the setting so that when I log in I don't go any further
than a shell and if I want ex I just type "startx" and enter?
I don't know why but Debian seems to be more cryptic when it comes to
this and it's run levels are odd compared with other linux distros.
I was browsing through /etc/inittab and found
"# Runlevel 0 is halt.
# Runlevel 1 is single-user.
# Runlevels 2-5 are multi-user.
# Runlevel 6 is reboot."
So 2-5 are multi-user and I've gathered 2 is the defualt for running X.
So then, can if I change it to 3, 4 or 5 will X not start then?
Debian ships with runlevels 2 - 5 identical; it is up to the system
administrator to do what he wills with the runlevels.
As a general rule, if you don't want X to start automatically on
boot-up, you can either disable, or uninstall, the relevant login
manager (xdm, kdm, gdm, or wdm).
