Well, that is a bit extreme. don't worry about shutting down the X server. when the tty on which the X server is running is active, you can switch to other tty's by using Control-LeftAlt-Fx, where x is the number of a different tty (presumably a text console).
in response to the original question, if you still don't want xdm to start when the machine is booted, simply edit /etc/X11/config and change the line which says 'start-xdm' to 'no-start-xdm' (or just comment the darn thing out). finally, i have no idea how to do change to kdm. sorry. -alan "Zaphod Beeblebrox" wrote (Sun, 02 Aug 1998 10:28:53 PDT ): |> |>This may be kind of extreme, but I can get out of XWindows (xdm) |>using the Ctr-Alt-BackSpace sequence that forces a reset.
