In another thread, I realized that this subject is appropriate for what I want to do.
How should I edit the antiX menu.lst stanza so that Slim will not start and I will be able to log on in the console?

Just add the number 3 to the end of the kernel line.
At the console mode you can login as root but not through slim (unless there's some hack for that).
From the console to get into slim you type either

Thanks, that works very well. I have to log in twice, but that's fine.
After I log in at the console and type either"init 5" or"slim" (evidently in the PATH), the slim logon screen comes up. But this time it lets me use root as the user.
