|    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?       --       John Forkosh ( mailto: j@f.com where j=john and f=forkosh )              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
