Get rid of graphical boot

Not a question, but I thought I'd post as I really didn't like the graphical boot, and I thought others may want rid of it too.

If you don't like the fancy GUI boot-up hiding you boot sequence you can hit "show details" or from your favorite text editor (as root), edit the /etc/sysconfig/init file and change:

# Turn on graphical boot
GRAPHICAL=yes

to

# Turn on graphical boot
GRAPHICAL=no

Pretty easy, but I really didn't like that GUI boot, plus it seems to boot a bit faster. Just in case you care.

Nice, thanks!

It works, but I would rather have the graphical boot screen default to the "Show Details" option, as if you clicked on the little arrow.

Any ideas how to make it do that?
