Actually, you don't have to uninstall wdm (or xdm or other similar login managers) to login on a text console. To stop it from running, you can disable it from starting at boot by going into /etc/rc2.d and doing a mv S98wdm s98wdm (I think it's 98, but it might be 99...) To temporarily (until next reboot) shut wdm down, use /etc/init.d/wdm stop You can also start it back up again by changing the 'stop' to 'start', and 'restart' will shut it down and immediately start it back up again. And, finally, to do a text mode login while wdm (or X in general) is still running, you can use Ctrl-Alt-# to switch to other virtual terminals as usual (just remember that, to step out of an X session, it's Ctrl-Alt-# instead of Alt-#). To get back to your X session, use Alt-7. -- Geek Code 3.1: GCS d- s+: a- C++ UL++$ P+>+++ L++>++++ E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t 5++ X+ R++ tv- b++ DI++++ D G e* h+ r++ y+
