for more details take a look at man telinit
just open a terminal and type man telinit

Hi,

I'll assume that what you're trying to do is boot in non-graphical mode permanently.

I'll also assume that you're on a RH / Fedora / Centos / Suse / OpenSuse platform. Other platforms do it differently I believe.

Edit the /etc/inittab file and alter the following line:

id:3:initdefault:

The number you probably have instead of 3 is 5, which is graphical mode.

Hope this helps,

Hi!

I use debain linux, how can i disable xserver at boot?

Depends which program is starting it. Do you use kdm/gdm? kde or gnome or something else?

update-rc.d -f gdm remove
update-rc.d -f kdm remove
