I am running Fedora Core 1, I used to use Suse. I remember that in Suse I could tell the server that I do not want to GUI to start but still be in run level 5. I do this for xdmcp connections. The configuration for this was:
the file /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager:
DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="yes"
DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER="no"
Now execute the commands:

SuSEconfig
init 3
init 5


I want to know if there is a way to do this on Fedora Core 1. I do not want to run X but still want people to connect to xdmcp.

Thanks

"I do not want to GUI to start but still be in run level 5. "

My guess on how to do this is to edit /etc/inittab and comment out the following line by putting a # in column 1:

x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
becomes
#x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon

I haven't tried it but this is the first thing that I would try.
