Well i have Fedora Core 1 here , but i guess it applies to Fedora Core 2


A good start would be a file called inittab in the /etc directory
So first backup the file "/etc/inittab" .
The with vi for example

# vi /etc/inittab


Now go to line 18 , it should read something like the line shown
bellow

id:5:initdefault:
    ^
This ( "5" ) means graphical login  whereas "3" means non graphical
login . All you have to do is change the above line to read


id:3:initdefault:


Then save the file .

After that telinit 3 does the magic . Otherwise the next time your
computer boots it will start with the non graphical login


HTH,


Kind Regards,
    Kostas
