You could have a look in /etc/rc3.d/ and rename services you don't want running to K?? instead of S??. Then you can log out of your gui, change to a console, log in and switch to run level 3 for bare bones, then back to 2 for the lot. In theory it shouldn't make much of a difference, unused memory will get swapped out as needed. But i guess I can understand wanting to do it. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
