turning off graphic login
I've recently put on Linux rh 7.1 onto my old compaq, and exploring the joys of linux.
one thing which I want to do is go from a graphic login to a text based login. I want to be able to start the x server by typing startx. Now. things I've tried. /etc/inittab - changing this from id:5 .... to id:3..... -> no change. switchdesk -> this doesnt give me an option to use text based login. any other direction I should try? Thanks, |

check /etc/rc3.d/ and /etc/rc5.d/
Assuming both start X, I'm assuming both have a link to xdm, kdm, etc. First check that this is just a symbolic link (presumably to /etc/init.d/xdm). If so, then just remove the symbolic link, and xdm, kdm, etc. won't start and you'll be met with a tty login. |
Thanks people, will check them out. :)
