-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The script lives in /etc/init.d (likely called gdm, which likely takes the arguments stop start and restart)
The rc.d directories just contain symlinks. The Debian way creates symlinks in all the runlevels by default. If you want to stop gdm from starting there are a couple of Debian ways of doing it (Debian can be considered synonymous with Ubuntu for this exercise). If you want to merely boot into a console, update-rc.d -f gdm remove If you want to use a different login manager, just install or reconfigure it. So aptitude install kdm or dpkg-reconfigure kdm Hope this helps, Jon wrote: > Errgh...who knew ctrl-return in Evo sent the message? > > Anyhow, this is the line I see: > > # The default runlevel. > id:2:initdefault: > > Which says to me that I should only be booting to Run Level 2.
