Removing LightDM

Sat Dec 15, 2012 9:29 am

Hi all,

I've installed raspbian and compiled xbmc. This is the main use of my raspberrypi. I backup my sd card once a week and noticed when it ends lightdm is started up.

I've made my own backup script that does nothing special :
stop xbmc
swapoff-like as described in fstab
backup using dd
swapon
start xbmc

I kill lightdm after every backup and there is no problem
I think I don't need lightdm and I'd like to remove it

Do you think I can do it safely ? Has anyone ever done such a removing ?
Thanks
