On grub: * highlight the correct entry * press 'a' for "append" * enter the new runlevel: single: single mode, without network and multiuser 3 : multiuser, text mode 5 : multiuser, graphical -b : emergency, boot only a shell (on new grub. On old, press 'e' for "edit" and add the runlevel at the end of the line) On lilo: * switch to text ui if on gui * enter the boot label followed by the runlevel Regards, Luciano Rocha
