Change your runlevel. You can use the init command to do that:
# init 3 will give you a CLI and # init 5 will give you a GUI. If you want to change the runlevel you boot into, edit your /etc/inittab file (as root). If you boot to a GUI, change "id:5:initdefault" to "id:3:initdefault" for a CLI for example. |
If you wanted to change to cli but keep the gui open to go back to later or whatever, then press ctrl + alt + F1 (you can replace F1 with any f key between F1 and F6). ctrl + alt + F7 will return you back to gui
|
the ctrl+alt+1 should be ctrl+alt+f1 etc. :)

AH sorry!!! I forgot... editing now...
|
You can make the command line permanent by editing /etc/inittab. Change the line
id:5:initdefault: to id:3:initdefault: and it will boot to the command line. Do "startx" then to go to X11. Logging out there will return you to CLI. To shutdown do "shutdown -h now". To reboot do "shutdown -r now". To reboot and force a file system check do "shutdown -rF now". |
