Sci. (RAS Lab) Lines: 9 If one comments the line in /private/etc/ttys that passes control at boot to the window server, then you get a mach window. I have tried to change the various settings including stty so that the window would be more than 8 lines. To no avail. Has anyone tried it. I would like to sometimes gain some more speed on the 030 cube by killing off the window server and all its baggage. I like NeXTStep, but sometimes, I would just like to have a command line. if you have tried it, please let me know.
