One of the coolest things about grml is the runlevel.conf file -<BR>
<BR>
if you go to /etc/runlevel.conf<BR>
<BR>
and where it says something like <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
21 - 2,3,4,5 /etc/init.d/gdm<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
just change that to <BR>
<BR>
21(or whatever the number is) - - /etc/init.d/gdm<BR>
<BR>
Then you will have to log in as root, and issue the command "gdm" or startx to get into x.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
As a matter of practical advice, I tend to do all system work outside of x, as it is normally faster.<BR>
<BR>
Now, if you only want to do this once, and continue to boot into x automatically, then let the machine boot, ctl-alt-F2 into a console, login as root, issue "killall grm" and you will have a console, to regain x, just issue "gdm".<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Best,<BR>
