SOLVED runlevel 3, but got X?

[staticburstMember]

I’ve tried to research this, but still don’t understand it. I changed the default runlevel in /etc/inittab to 3 (have given up on getting X to stop crashing on an old laptop), but am still getting a gui login prompt. Is the best thing to do just to use the package manager to uninstall X? Or should I be doing this in runit?

If using sysvinit
sudo update-rc.d slimski disable 3

If using runit
sudo rm /etc/runit/runsvdir/current/slimski

If using s6-rc
sudo rm /etc/s6-rc/adminsv/enabled-services/contents.d/slimski-* && s6-db-reload

If using s6-66
sudo 66 disable slimski

If using dinit
sudo dinitctl disable slimski

I assume you are using latest antiX-26-full and booting sysVinit and installed (you didn’t say).
If so, at boot menu, add 3 and that should boot without X,

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Thanks: was using runit, but I think some of the packages I removed automatically deleted that link, it’s working as I want now.
