If you mean you just want to stop the graphical boot, edit
/boot/grub/grub.conf and remove 'rhbg' from the end of the 'kernel'
line.  If you want to stop X completely, and just boot into a text
console, change the default run-level as well: edit /etc/inittab and
change
 'id:5:initdefault:' to
 'id:3:initdefault:'.

You may notice that different services (httpd, cups, kudzu, etc) will
now start.  Thats because each service can be defined to start for each
run-level.  You'll need to run redhat-config-services, or chkconfig, to
specify which service starts for which run level.

HTH,

	A manager went to his programmers and told them: "As regards to your
work hours: you are going to have to come in at nine in the morning and leave
at five in the afternoon."  At this, all of them became angry and several
resigned on the spot.
	So the manager said: "All right, in that case you may set your own
working hours, as long as you finish your projects on schedule."  The
programmers, now satisfied, began to come in a noon and work to the wee
hours of the morning.
