Hi Folks,
Is there a way to have Antix_M7 boot to a command prompt rather than the logon splashy?
Thanks.

If you have Lysistrata, then use the
nogui
cheatcode at the grub menu.

Thanks. Yeah, I remember reading that in a wiki or an earlier post but I was looking for a way to make it permanent. Is there such a thing?

To make it permanent, edit the boot/grub/menu.lst file
and add nogui like this:

title antiX-Lysistrata
root (hd0,3)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda4 nomce vga=791 nogui
boot

Alternatively you could remove slim login manager.

#apt-get remove --purge slim
