I guess it runs xdm or gdm as a service; then you will get this behaviour. /etc/init.d/xdm stop /etc/init.d/gdm stop If that's the thing that cause you problems, either uninstall those packages, or simply remove the xdm/gdm entries in your /etc/rcX.d directories where X is the runlevel. (I know there is some GUI program to do this as well, but the way I see it that is more complicated than doing it directly) Regards, /Joakim -- http://www.efd.lth.se/~d97jro/
