[Cialug] X server

[Mathew R. Phillips]

Last night my dad and I figured out how to run a single application on an xserver without having a desktop. I know that you could setup one of the runlevels to only start the x server so one could do this. But i still want my default runlevel to be the full desktop environment. but i was wondering if it was possible to set something up so that you could select an option from the grub menu that would just boot up an x server and start firefox for example instead of having to go through changing the runlevel once its already booted. I don't know how many times i shutoff my computer and then realized i had to boot it all the way up into the desktop just to check an email. It would be pretty handy to just boot to firefox and not start up kde or any of the other daemons other than networking of course.
