Xstart up question
 

How do i get it so they Xstart doesnt come up when i start the computer, i want it to start on the command line and run linux VIA command line

edit the file called /etc/inittab as root
change the line that says :
id:5:initdefault:
to read the following
id:3:initdefault:

im usin Red Hat 9, if that makes any difference

It makes no difference, the above command will work.

also note that once you are in cli, there are two ways to bring up the GUI. You can type init 5 as root, and init 3 to bring it back down... or the way i perfer to do it is to simply type "startx"

if you use startx, all you have to do to drop back to cli is log out of the gui.
