Hi Robert, for text only login, vi /etc/inittab In this file look for the follwing line: id:5:initdefault: Change the 5 to a 3 and this will turn off the gui login on next boot up. In the mean time you could, as root run the follwing command: init 3 This will drop the run level you are in now (5 or gui) to 3 (standard login prompt.
