And if you want to boot into the console (nonGUI) automatically, edit your
/etc/inittab... just change the line which says:


id:5:initdefault: 

to read

id:3:initdefault: 


I.e., you just change the "3" to a "5".  That's it.  When you want to go
back to booting into the GUI (X Window System), then change it back to a
"5".
