would like to boot to multiuser command line
 

just downloaded debian 10 after taking a break.

ditched my old info for getting debian to boot command line multi user

I recall I didnt have to minipulate grub was a file in /etc/

did some searching and they all want to minipulate grub which I dont want to mess with.

appreciate some help

To set the default boot run level to command line:

systemctl set-default multi-user.target

Done that. It just kicked me out of kde and on reboot gui came up. I want to boot to command line multi user mode.

tried it again, it worked this time. thanks.

system isolate multi-user.target should quit the desktop versus set-default.
