Just in case, what you want is this line: id:5:initdefault: and change it to: id:3:initdefault: That will permanently change the boot to come up to the console; the bit about appending "init 3" is a temporary fix. For now, you are probably better off without X, which is a resource hog. Later, you can change it back if you want. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
