Er... how to disable X session autostart when logging as root?
(I run SWIKEE and BREAK but this is edition-independent question).

Do you say you log in as "root" and it automatically logs in to X? Check the /root/.bash_profile file, you can comment the line that says "startx" (if it's there)

Solved.
I found 'startx' in
/etc/profile.d/zz-live-config_xinit.sh
so I removed the file and added 'exec startx' to user's .bash_profile
