Well, instead of doing nothing I decided to trash my machine (God forbid).
The script /etc/rc.d/rc steps through the runlevels, calling S* scripts located in directories /etc/rc.d/rcN.d/. The S* scripts are just symbolic links to scripts in /etc/init.d/ and after doing an interactive boot, I found out that within runlevel 5 there are two scripts that have something to do with the graphical interface: S20xfs (starts the X Font Server) and S30dm that starts the graphical display manager. So skipping i=20 and i=30 at runlevel 5 within /etc/init.d/rc if the user decides not to start the graphical display, will get us the flexibility desired. Well, I have backed up my data and tomorrow I will be modifying /etc/init.d/rc. Any help before I trash my system, in case I am missing something, will be truly appreciated. (I hope someone come home tomorrow with a couple of beers and beef for a barbecue and rescue me from this out of control curiosity). __ / \\ @ __ __ @ Adolfo Bello <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / // // /\ / \\ // \ // Bello Ingenieria S.A. / ICQ: 65910258 / \\ // / \\/ // // / // cel: +58 416 609-6213 /___//// / <_/\__\\//__/ // fax: +58 212 952-6797 www.bisapi.com // pager: www.tun-tun.com (# 609-6213)
