If you install a non-desktop task you can then simply install Xorg and the parts of Gnome/KDE/other environment that you want. You can also simply remove gdm after the install finished and you'll get what you want. Do notice that the gnome package depends on gnome-desktop-environment which depends on gdm, if you remove gdm or you don't install it you need to install the packages needed for a gnome environment yourself. Another approach can be to disable gdm init process with: update-rc.d -f gdm remove update-rc.d gdm stop 20 2 3 4 5 Baruch ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
