It depends on what you mean by "disable Gnome". If you want to run X at start-up but use a different window-manager, you can do that. Alternatively, you can swap out the "gdm" (Gnome Display Manager) for a different one such as "kdm" (KDE's display manager), "xdm", or "slim". Finally, if you don't want X to start a display-manager automatically at boot, you can specify a fake one by modifying /etc/X11/default-display-manager (as root or with sudo) with a non-existent name such as "none". In some older iterations, they were set up so that one run-level had the GUI while others didn't, so you would edit (as root or with sudo) your /etc/initab and change the "initdefault" line to specify "3" for "standard multi-user mode with networking" instead of "5" (same as 3 but also start the display-manager for the GUI). I'm not sure why Debian departed from this industry standard. So the "right" way to do this in Unix-likes should be to set this to 3 and be done with it. Except it doesn't work in Debian. -tim _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
