First Time Debian User Seeking Answers...
In other distros, I seem to recall that if I change a certain value on
a certain line in /etc/inittab from a 5 to a 3, that sets my default
runlevel to 3, which has the most noticeable effect of not launching
the X server by default at bootup.
Well, I just installed debian and noticed that boots to a graphical
login, of which I am not a big fan. So I decided to muck with
/etc/inittab and noticed two things: 1) The runlevel value in there is
2 (what does that mean?), and 2) changing that value seems to have no
effect.
Your thoughts?
Under Debian the runlevel isn't used to handle the graphical login
functionality. It really comes down to whether xdm/gdm/kdm is being loaded.
You can stop this behavior by removing them from the boot sequence using
update-rc.d like this:
update-rc.d -f gdm remove
replacing gdm for whichever of the three is being loaded. That should hopefully
fix your problem.
