At the GRUB menu, add "gentoo=nox" to the kernel options, using the |
| 8 |
method explained by Alan. The advantage of this method is that it gives |
| 9 |
you a fully working system, running everything in your default runlevel |
| 10 |
except xdm. When you have made the changes and want to test |
| 11 |
them, /etc/init.d/xdm restart fires up X with no need to reboot. |

Note for the pedants: The xdm init script is run, but it checks for the |
| 14 |
nox flag and exits without starting X, that's why to need to restart it |
| 15 |
to run X. |
