   uefi/elilo change to boot into terminal    
   18 Nov 21 22:40:32   
   
   From: forkosh@panix.com   
      
   I installed slackware onto a uefi disk (with a preinstalled windows)   
   after booting from a slacklive usb stick and clicking that "Install on hdd"   
   button on the upper-left-hand side of the screen. Works fine, but immediately   
   starts X when now booted from the disk partition. I'd rather boot into   
   terminal mode and startx manually when I'm ready. How do I change all the   
   elilo stuff to do that?   
      
   My /boot/efi/EFI/Slackware/elilo.conf just contains....   
   chooser=simple   
   delay=1   
   timeout=1   
   #   
   image=vmlinuz   
           label=vmlinuz   
           initrd=initrd.gz   
           read-only   
           append="root=/dev/sda7 vga=normal ro"   
   ....which doesn't seem to have anything relevant that I can see.   
      
   Also, the /etc/X11/xinit/ has xinitrc->xinitrc.kde   
   I prefer fvwm2 and changed the symlink accordingly,   
   but it still automatically boots into kde.   
   I assume the changed symlink will work once I boot   
   into terminal mode and startx myself. But if I can't   
   boot into terminal mode, is there at least some way   
   to run fvwm2 instead of kde?
