Dear Bish, Thanks for the help .Actually I had a crude solution for it.I renamed xdm to xdmold and so the calls to xdm through S99xdm script in directories rcX.d( x = 3,4,5) was disabled.Anyway my solution is not as per right philosophy so would surely be using your solution. It is very starnge to know why init processes in different distros are different.For a person like me who is new to Linux(I was totally a windows guy... and not having comp.science background) it is difficult to digest.
2tgz utility written by you is now clear to me and I am able to follow the mannual procedure to convert deb to tgz as sugessted by one of your replies to my mails.
