Are you using (the old, not the Darwin OS X) BootX? Put "single" in the options box and it should boot into single user (non-X) mode. Putting something like "3" might also do it by booting into run-level 3, which by tradition is standard except without the X Desktop Manager graphical login. (Pretty much everything configurable in Unix is done by tradition and consensus, so it's got a very good chance of working, unless you added something to, say, rc.local or similar). -- Dana [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
