 |
|
I would like to set up my linux box to boot into gnome or command-line. Is there a way to have 2 GRUB entries, one to boot into gnome and the other to boot into command-line?

I haven't tried this, but I think it should work:
Create a console runlevel by doing the following: | Code: | cd /etc/runlevels
cp -R default console
rm console/xdm |
This creates a new runlevel calles "console" with exactly the same services as your "default" runlevel except xdm.
Then edit /etc/inittab and change this line | Code: | | l4:4:wait:/sbin/rc default |
to this | Code: | | l4:4:wait:/sbin/rc console |
Create a new entry, based on your current one, in /boot/grub/grub.conf, add to the end of the kernel line (should look like this now: | Code: | | kernel /kernel-2.6.11-r9 root=/dev/hda5 video=vesafb:ypan,1024x768-32@60 4 |
and call it "Gentoo Commandline" or what ever you like to call it. |
