Easy to load good distro, but have question for the experts.
Wow even worked the first time, never had that kinda luck with any other distro.
How can I make it start without any X / gui? It won't let you even see devices like fd0 where is it, is it compiled into the kernel? I want to be able to get in a play with and see all files, how to get access? I want to be able to start and stop the gui. Thanks. |

Okay edited the etc/inittab file like you posted and also a line in it about respawing x I commented it out with #. It will go to the initial Zenwalk terminal that shows verboise during boot up, that is still a gui type thingy. How to kill that? What file starts it up?
Thanks |
Zenwalk sure doesn't like the command line. Why do you need the modprobe ?
Ingraphic its all easy. Still got the blue terminal at start up, I've tried all kinds of things. Is that in the kernel? |
That's no "gui". It's the bootsplash. If you want to remove that too, you will have to edit your /etc/lilo.conf and run lilo, but I don't understand why you would want to do that.
And I sure don't understand this: Quote:

I did try editing that, it still came on. The reason, first of all so I can see it. I don't like the resolution of it, nor the lettering on a blue background, on that PC I'm learning it. If I put in on another pc I may leave it as is. Normal start up etc.

You have to run lilo to apply the updates.
|
Ah doesn't rebooting it run lilo? Thats what I did.
