Boot to terminal

I installed Fedora 14 with the KDE desktop. Can I make Fedora boot to a terminal rather than the GUI? I would want to boot to the terminal just 1 time so I don't want to get rid of the GUI permanently.

As root, edit

Code:

/etc/inittab

and set the default runlevel to 3

Code:

# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6)

id:3:initdefault:

reboot

Kind regards

The Fedora documentation explains how to boot to runlevel 3, which gets you a terminal login, instead of an X login.
