GUI Logon Help...

I just installed Turbolinux today and accidentally checked the box to boot to the GUI... is there a way to change this so that I boot to the text mode? I am sure that there is, but I have been going through man pages on startx and a bunch of other stuff, but can't find it. Can anyone give me a hand here? Thanks guys!

Robert

Go into your /etc/inittab file and change the deafult runlevel to whatever your distro uses for text mode logins . . . most of the distros use runlevel three for this purpose, but some differ, so check your docs to make sure. Also, backup your /etc/inittab file before you attempt this, just in case something goes wrong. This should allow you to boot into text mode and still have all network services enabled.
