Ok, here is a way of doing it since I haven't seen anyone else respond to you
yet.
It sounds like you are using a graphical boot. I would suggest turning that
off. (RH6.2 works with it... but a normal text logon always worked better
for me when I ran that version) If you decide to do that then here is how:
When at a logon screen press ctrl+alt+f2 and login as root on the new text
terminal.
use your favorite text editor to edit: /etc/inittab and change the line that
says:
id:5:initdefault:
and change it to:
id:3:initdefault:
You can change that to any number between 0 and 6 where 0 is system halt
(don't put this in unless you wanna really mess with someone), 1 puts you
into single user mode, 2 is a multiuser mode but without NFS, 3 is a full
multiuser mode (all text), 4 I believe is reserved in case you want to make a
special run level all for yourself, 5 is the graphical boot (which is
probably what you have it set to) and 6 is the reboot runlevel (don't put
this number in there either unless you want your computer to continously
reboot forever. :-)
finally... to get to your real question: hehehe... when you're done editing
inittab (or not if you decide to stay in a graphical boot) edit your
/etc/sysconfig/desktop file. If it doesn't exist then create it using the
command:
touch /etc/sysconfig/desktop
Then place only one line in it which says:
GNOME
nothing else. If you want to change back to KDE then replace GNOME with KDE.
Hope this helps.
