The script for starting gdm is in /etc/init.d/; it is linked to your runlevel -- in this case, /etc/rc3.d, almost certainly -- in the form S##gdm. You could stop it by running /etc/init.d/gdm stop You can remove it from this runlevel by deleting the link in /etc/rc3.d You can remove the package entirely with apt-get remove gdm You can create a proper user with adduser, and apt-get install sudo and configure that so that super-user privileges are available to your user simply by prefacing the command with sudo and typing your own password when requested. -dsr- > > Any help with a simple solution is very welcome. > > Jonny Fransson > > _______________________________________________ > gnome-list mailing list > gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list -- If they want to install software with "one click", they should install a word processor.
