Along with all of the explanation about how to set up a runlevel to start without X, I'll just mention that to actually boot the kernel in that runlevel, you just use the number of that runlevel as a free option on the kernel commandline. If you were using lilo, then you could configure the kernel to boot into runlevel 2 (instead of the default set in /etc/inittab) by using append="2" in the kernel stanza meant for this, or by just running linux 2 (assuming linux was the name of your normal stanza) --Ken Bloom -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.
