start and run Mint-12 as console only
Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2012 11:34 am
What do I place into a grub boot command line or similar so that I might start and run my Mint-12 workstation as "console only" -- without any X11, xorg, X-server, desktop, graphical anything?
I know that I can use CTRL-ALT-Fn within a running desktop to activate a console session, but that leave X11 running ... over there.
I'm planning some X11 experiments and want to start and run in console mode by default and start X11 manually so that I'm guaranteed
to be able to start my workstation and get back to a running configuration in spite of my X-config stumblings.
Thanks in advance,
