[sllug-members]: How do I make gNewSenes headless!?

[Nathan Lane]

Okay Richard Stallman in a recent blog post said that he uses gNewSense
headless and uses Gnome every so often, and like him I want to keep KDE,
just start up without X running - and I changed my default runmode to 3,
which according to all of the articles I've read, is a headless runmode with
network access - is this not correct?
