<DIV>is given. This would make the entire screen a bash terminal at first, until </DIV>
<DIV>the X server is started (If I remember correctly, this can be accomplished by </DIV>
<DIV>changing the default runlevel in /etc/inittab to "3").</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What worries me is whether I will be able to log on to Ubuntu at all if I do </DIV>
<DIV>this. I get the impression that Gnome of KDE must be running in order to be </DIV>
<DIV>able to log on at all.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is it possible to change the runlevel so that ubuntu boots without </DIV>
<DIV>automatically starting X, and, if it is, how should I go about to make these </DIV>
<DIV>changes without getting into trouble?</DIV>
<DIV> Thank You.</DIV>
