Others told you already about /etc/inittab, but if you want to change
to graphical, text mode or single user just for once, you can pass the
runlevel to init o boot.
On grub:
* highlight the correct entry
* press 'a' for "append"
* enter the new runlevel:
single: single mode, without network and multiuser
3 : multiuser, text mode
5 : multiuser, graphical
-b : emergency, boot only a shell
(on new grub. On old, press 'e' for "edit" and add the runlevel at the end
of the line)
On lilo:
* switch to text ui if on gui
* enter the boot label followed by the runlevel
