[techtalk] X win

[Jack Baker]

Thanks.  I knew it was simple...

Hi there

to get to console from where you are press ctrl-alt-f1/f2/f3/f4/f5 to get to
your text terminals .

once there you can log in as normal ..

your system is setup to startup in runlevel 5 ( X startup )

to change that edit your /etc/inittab file and search for init level and
change it from 5 to 3 :)

runlevel 3 being multiuser networked console startup :)
