yestarday i installed debian for the first time, and finally i am
through this dselect-jungle;-)
now i try since a few hours to eliminate this
x-as-default-startup-thing.
i would like to logon my machine in the console.
so i did like i did on my redhat-box, changing in /etc/inittab, but in
debian this seems not to work.
in xf86config there's no option to change this.
anyone else who had to handle this as well?
rm /etc/rc2.d/S99xdm
or update-rc.d -f xdm remove
but then the next time xdm is upgraded the links will be put back so
in that case i would then do
update-rc.d xdm start 5 . stop 0 1 2 3 4 6 .
then you have redhat like behaviour, boot to runlevel 5 -> get X
otherwise console.
you could always remove xdm too, unless a bunch of other things
depend on it for some reason..
