Two things. One, go to /etc and find the inittab file, and edit the line that contains "initdefault" from 5 to 2 (if it is five). The next thing is to go in to rc2.d, and instead of deleting the symlinks, just move them. The way the init scripts run is that the symlinks have to be prefixed with a certain letter. There's a few (I think two) and I don't know what they are, but one should be S##xdm or S##kdm or whatever. Just rename it (I usually just change the S to a Z) so that it doesn't confuse the package manager. That way you can keep the login for later if you want it. The script won't run if it's prefixed with the wrong letter. - David Nusinow [EMAIL PROTECTED]
