i\'ll have to look into configuring AfterStep to be more accustomed to Cacko Linux on the default install, then i\'ll release a new package.
but if you would like to get to a console, you will need to be able to telnet into it. and either run the command: ps -ax
and then find the pid of X and run the command: kill -9 <pid>
after that, then you should be dropped to a bash prompt, and from there run the command: setxdefault or if you have fluxbox installed, setxflux.
or.
once you are at a console, edit /etc/inittab and change the line:
id:5:initdefault
to
id:3:initdefault
then you will need to edit /etc/rc.d/rc
and uncoment the lines:
#argv1=\"$1\"
#set `/sbin/runlevel`
#runlevel=$2
#previous=$1
#export runlevel previous
then reboot. the console will be kind of weird and not ever scroll up. it just display\'s everything on the last line. so you will probably need to run the \'clear\' command after logging in as root.
after you all of this. it will always boot into the console instead of X. but to undo it all. you will need to change /etc/inittab back to having the line
id:5:initdefault
and recomment those lines in /etc/rc.d/rc
hope that helps you out. but if i were you, i\'d just go the route of telneting in and killing X. But i explained the other stuff to you incase you ever want the PDA to just boot into the Console, so that you can startx on your own, and not have to worry about it being stuck in AfterStep even after rebooting.
