Thanks, Iain. I'll add your fine instructions to my learning notes.

Can anybody suggest whether I can avoid loading X-system at the boot time?
If you mean you just want to stop the graphical boot, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and remove 'rhbg' from the end of the 'kernel' line. If you want to stop X completely, and just boot into a text console, change the default run-level as well: edit /etc/inittab and change 'id:5:initdefault:' to 'id:3:initdefault:'.
You may notice that different services (httpd, cups, kudzu, etc) will now start. Thats because each service can be defined to start for each run-level. You'll need to run redhat-config-services, or chkconfig, to specify which service starts for which run level.
HTH,
