Booting into X is controled by your default run level. Look in your /etc/inittab file. For redhat, a text login is run level 3. I don't know what it is in Debian.

The way it works right now is, I do a cold boot that logs me in and xWindows starts. I close all open Windows with "Control F4:. Then I press "Control F1" which brings me out to the Bash Prompt. I then login again and do my work. Can I boot from a 3.5" floppy to bypass this process? If so, what files should I FTP to a 3.5" floppy? Windows or Linux format? My FTP program is Windows 95 based. then What Speakup 9.09 Files Should I FTP? A Windows or Linux 3.5" floppy? Then could I do a speaking install of Speakup on my Debian Linux 2.1 system? In a structured list, what would I need to do? -- Love the Super Duper Guide Dog Dabney and Angus D.F.
