I have just started back at work, the place I left a few months ago where I have a two day a week contract starting today.
I have got a Fedora based machine as my desktop machine again (Hoorah!) but I haven't got my old customised setup back so I've got to redo it from scratch.
The first problem is - how do I turn off the Gnome desktop from being automatically started? Is there a setup option somewhere that selects what window manager I want?
If you want to stop the graphical login altogether, you can change the default init level (initdefault) to 3 instead of 5 in /etc/inittab.
Of course, that's what I did before, set the init level to 3 and ran startx manually. Thank you!
If you want to stop the graphical boot, you can do this in /etc/sysconfig/init.
If you want to switch desktop environments, install switchdesk and/or switchdesk-gui, run it, and choose the environment you want to run.
Cheers.
