HD Install :: How to keep X from loading
I searched for this, but didn't really come up with anything.
Anyway, what I want to do is use DSL on an old 486 and use the MySQL book as sort of an inventory record for all of my junk in my basement and I'd rather not load the GUI. I'm using 7.0.
On a second note, how do you restart the GUI after you have closed it, and where does MySQL book store it's database files, It would be cool to acess the database from my room or any other computer on my network.
Thanks for the help!
I think you can boot into command line by writing "dsl 2" (without quotes) at the boot:-prompt. You can restart X with startx.
or you can edit ~dsl/.bash_profile and take out the 'startx' command..
as far as where does mysql store its db, it usually stores it in /var/db/mysql but im not sure in DSL since i've never used mysql in DSL ;p it might be the same place! which might be symlinked...are you using an HD install or a liveCD?
Booting with dsl 2 apparently logs you in as root. I'd take tronik's advice.
Its HD-Installed with multiple logons so I dont get the boot options (as far as I know).
Thanks for the help, ill try and edit those scripts and see what happens.
I wonder If I could just remove X altogether?
