Hello!

I've been trying to enable a "direct to terminal" mode in Leopard but all the information I found online was really dated (mostly 10.1-10.3) and didn't work in my situation. Basically I want to use this computer as a small server and don't want to waste memory loading Aqua.

Method 1: macosxhints.com - Create a multiuser text-only networked OS X system
Method 2: macosxhints.com - Disable Aqua on bootup for server use

Method 2 seems a bit more 'in-depth' but both of them refer to '/private/etc/rc' which I can't find on Leopard. Anyone knows how I could do this?

Thanks
