Ydes, Mandrake is usually well behaved (if you don't miss the - clearly and understandably worded - selection step whith installing) and starts up with a txt console, asks for the login, and then starts whatever GUI chosen with "startx".
And so did Debian - hitherto: Now, with a new install of DEB 3.0 it goes mandatory into X, and does the login there too. I could _not_ find the place anywhere in the various "init" files where the runlevel, or the (automatic) startup of the window manager is defined. It's not where it was with earlier DEB installs. Apparently, this has changed places, and there's no information in the number of READMEs and the like (at least, not in one of those where I tried to find it). // Heimo Claasen // <hammer at revobild dot net> // Brussels 2002-09-27 The WebPlace of ReRead - and much to read ==> http://www.revobild.net - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
