I should have mentioned I'm using LILO, not GRUB.
Doesn't matter: just type a '3' at the boot prompt, either grub's or lilo's. If you want to have a grub/lilo entry menu for that one, simply copy the 'linux' entry to a new one (file '/etc/lilo.conf') with a 3 at the end of the options line - but I find that typing a '3' at the boot menu is faster than navigating to the proper entry. If you want to make the change permanent, the "normal" way is to edit the '/etc/inittab' file: # The default runlevel is defined here id:5:initdefault: Change the '5' to a '3' for text mode only. This can also be done in yast somewhere, I think. Alternatively, simply type [ctrl][alt][F1..F6] to switch to one of the 6 text mode consoles. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
