If it is GDM loading on boot-up, I think you should be able to remove it from starting up by chrooting into it (from the installation CD, like you did for installing) and then run rc-update del gdm default I thought that gentoo did not add software to run on start-up by default, but maybe you added it. Hope this helps. From Michael Whapples Jude DaShiell writes: > I got gentoo installed and when I boot the computer it comes up and does a > short beep which I figure is gdm's login prompt.
