This system image boots into an LXDE environment, with no option to boot to the console (i.e. the CLI without all the GUI stuff). I have no idea how to get it to boot to the console -- it doesn't seem to use GRUB(2) as the bootloader, so there is no menu option at boot. I tried to use sudo to get rid of lightdm, but was told that I'm not in the sudoers group, even after changing my user privileges to "Administrator". Naturally, I don't have a root password.
Peter, Did you try editing /etc/inittab? You should see the lines... # Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6) id:4:initdefault: Change the 4 to a 3. The last time I played with Slackware, I changed the 3 to a 4. -- Howard Gibson hgibson@eol.ca howard.gibson@teledyneoptech.com jhowardgibson@gmail.com http://home.eol.ca/~hgibson
