Another way, start a shell either by logging into a console window or under X and become root. Then edit /etc/inittab, of course you really should use the king of editors - vi - ; ) GRIN Look for: # The default runlevel is defined here id:5:initdefault: Change to id:3:initdefault: Save file and reboot. And you are done! Who needs Yast when you know where the files are! I do this for some of my systems that I don't want the overhead of X unless I start it by hand with startx. Abraham zentara wrote:

So yes, if there's an easy way to kill the graphical login altogether, I'd love to hear it. If it's been mentioned already, I apologize - I missed it. Been slow with catching up on email...
Heh,heh, another convert to init 3. :-)
Yeah, the way to boot to console login is: Go into yast2( it's easier to find it with the X version of yast2), go to Runlevel Editor Set Default runlevel after booting = 3 Multiuser with Network.
As far as I'm concerned, runlevel 3 is where the real action is. X is just window dressing.
