Normally, you'll find that the default runlevel in your /etc/inittab is
set to 3. Down towards the end of the file, you'll usually find the info
for starting X, which is usually at run-level 5. Edit the line that
starts X (or comment it out and create your own) so that it runs gdm (it
might be on xdm or kdm right now). Then, you can do 1 of 2 things. You
can either change the default run-level to 5, or you can change the
run-level the X is started on to 3. I tend to prefer changing the
default to 5 because then you can start up linux without running X if
you want by going into run-level 3.
