Why would that be? Anyways, I suppose i can stop the desktop easy enough by typing /etc/init.d/gdm stop, but that would just be for the current session I imagine. I am wondering if there is an easy way to just disable it without manually editing or renaming scripts. It would be nice to use sysvconfig, but like I say gdm doesn't show up there.
