I'm using Fedora Core 6 and everytime it boots it loads X-Server and prompts for a login. How do I disable the booting of X unless otherwise specified?

Re: Disabling X on startup
Remove the init script for xdm. It'll either be in /etc/rc.d or /etc/init.d depending upon where fedora keeps init scripts.impulse() wrote:I'm using Fedora Core 6 and everytime it boots it loads X-Server and prompts for a login. How do I disable the booting of X unless otherwise specified?

I'm not familiar with fedora but if there is a file /etc/inittab open it in a text editor and if there's a line like ab:5:initdefault change it to ab:3:initdefault and restart the system, (ab can be anything, leave it as-is).
