i normally set my FC1 computer to boot to graphical blue-curve login screen, as i do most everything from the gnome desktop anyhow.

1.)  from the graphical login screen how do i "kill" the graphical componet to get to an old-fashioned text-only login prompt?

2.)  from the gnome desktop ctrl-del-backspace (or ctrl-alt-backspace, whatever forget right now) usually causes some sort of weird sleep mode or something.  2a.)  why doesn't it work as expected and just bring me to an old style prompt, sans x-windows?  2b) is there an alternative to this altered form of the three finger salute?

thanks,
