Hello, Currently I'm using XEN PV with CentOS6 installed as the OS.. May I know how to disable the mingetty (2-6) to preserve more memory. ------------------------------ [root@venus ~]# ps aux | grep tty root 772 0.0 0.2 1964 484 tty1 Ss+ 03:18 0:00 /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty1 root 774 0.0 0.2 1964 476 tty2 Ss+ 03:18 0:00 /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty2 root 776 0.0 0.2 1964 480 tty3 Ss+ 03:18 0:00 /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty3 root 778 0.0 0.2 1964 480 tty4 Ss+ 03:18 0:00 /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty4 root 780 0.0 0.2 1964 484 tty5 Ss+ 03:18 0:00 /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty5 root 782 0.0 0.2 1964 476 tty6 Ss+ 03:18 0:00 /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty6 root 787 0.0 0.2 1976 540 hvc0 Ss+ 03:18 0:00 /sbin/agetty /dev/hvc0 38400 vt100-nav root 818 0.0 0.3 2236 568 pts/0 R+ 03:27 0:00 grep tty [root@venus ~]# ------------------------------ On CentOS 5, we can edit file on /etc/inittab.. but on CentOS 6, they seems using different configuration.. Any help please? Thanks...

You can check ACTIVE_CONSOLES in /etc/sysconfig/init.
