Need help

[Aaron Bennett]

If you want it just once to shift into text mode, do

su -
init 3

if you want to make it go into text mode by default when it reboots, do:

su -
cp /etc/inittab /etc/inittab.bak
vi /etc/inittab

find this line:
id:5:initdefault:

change the "5" to "3"

<esc>:wq!

rebooot
