I did an automatic install (put KDE on). I would prefer not to always be running in graphics mode, what to I do to boot into text mode (i.e. get rid of the graphics logon)?

Two ways:

1) Use DrakConf and change the boot mode there. Don't ask me exactly how, because I don't use that utility.

2) Use your favorite editor and edit the /etc/inittab file and change the following lines:

id:5:initdefault:

change to:

id:3:initdefault:

Now, if you're in run level 5 (graphical multi user mode) you can issue init 3 and you'll bring the system to run level three (command line multi user mode).

No need to reboot for these changes to take effect.
