If you want to bootup to a command prompt, remove the following lines
from your /etc/init/gdm.conf file, and reboot. To get your GUI, run
can use your Ubuntu boot CD to go to rescue and restore the file.
I'm not sure what's the point of this. To get to a konsole, hit
CTRL-ALT-F1. To restart the running X11 sessions, simply invoke "sudo
/etc/init.d/gdm restart". If everything is stuck and you want a reboot
in a reasonable harmless, follow the alt-sysreq+REISUB method.
Fred's post was an interesting/entertaining way of creating the
equivalent of a CentOS/Fedora/RHEL runlevel 3 default boot.

THAT is one thing I miss. Just "init 3" and there you are. Clean, simple
and easy peasy. Ric



So Ric, why haven't you tweaked your Grub menu yet?

#4 I have grub2 installed. "TOO SCARED! TOO SCARED!"

#3 Ain't gonna mess with it, my chicken foot needs recharging.
#2 Fortune never favors the bold.
...and the all time biggest number one excuse IS:
#1 I'm old and pee a lot.
