I have FC4 which gives the full GUI login (X Windows) and then can start into KDE/Gnome/etc. How can I change that to not load any GUI login and just stay in terminal? Then, how can I quickly get the GUI back? Is there a way to switch back and forth without rebooting? In the file /etc/inittab you have a line: id:5:initdefault: Change the 5 to a 3 to disable the GUI startup. To switch between runlevels 5 and 3 without rebooting (which is what you are trying to do), use "telinit 3" to go to runlevel 3 (no GUI), and "telinit 5" to go to runlevel 5 (GUI). Paul.
