If you currently have the GUI running, at a console, issue the following command: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop Then to make sure the gui doesn't start on boot, run the following command. sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove Note that if gdm gets updated in the future, this will be reversed, and you will have to run the above commands again. Hope this helps. - -- Luke Yelavich GPG key: 0xD06320CE (http://www.themuso.com/themuso-gpg-key.txt) Email & MSN: themuso at themuso.com Jabber: themuso at jabber.org.au -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFcRY5jVefwtBjIM4RApgTAJ47ZkPKwUfbALCnOlo5ehoJEI8iCgCg15Ty nxTBM2qxqR66tKN3fq/3jW4= =7Dbd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
