Hi, Solaris's default db library is NDBM. It creates two files as you saw. (I believe .dir is index, and .pag is data). FreeBSD's or (any *BSD) default db is Berkley DB, and it uses only one file. If you don't want to have two files, you can install Berkely DB2 (or 3) from SleepyCat Software (ht

The file you're looking for is /etc/inittab. There is a line about halfway down the file that controls the startup run level. On a Mandrake system, set this to 3 to boot into the command line. It should currently be a 5 if you boot into X. to start X later, type startx at the command line.
