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.
