Paul: Have you tried the other multi-screens? Ctrl-Alt and the F1 to F6 keys let you log in as character sessions. Ctrl-Alt-F7 takes you back to the X-windows screen. This should still work under VMware. Mike -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Paul Greene Sent: Monday, May 24, 2004 12:20 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: temporarily disabling GUI login I've installed VMWare on a Win2K box at home, and Fedora Core 2 in a virtual machine. When trying to install VMWare tools into the Linux virtual machine, the install script fails because the tools config script must be run outside of an X window session. Doing a CTRL-ALT-backspace to shut down X windows just drops me back into another GUI window. I haven't been able to figure out how to temporarily disable a GUI login. I'm sure it's fairly easy, but can't figure out how to do it. Help?
