Booting up in X server... how do I disable it or fall back to console mode?
I'm running Corel Linux OS and RedHat 7... both boot into x... how do I exit into prompt mode again? Or how do I disable it?

In Slackware you would edit /etc/inittab to change the runlevel from 4 to 3:
id:3:initdefault: I'm not sure if it's the same with Corel and RedHat, but this might get you going in the right direction! |
It defaults to "5" for X in RedHat, but basically the same effect. Change it to "3" and you're in business.

the above commands will disable x from running each time you start your computer
to get into a prompt, without even having to shutdown x, hit ctrl alt F1 (u can use F1-F6 to get into the several prompts, then to quickly get back into x, hit ctrl alt F7 (u can use F7-F12 depending on how many x servers you've got running) once u get into that prompt, u can kill all the x servers completely and get into runlevel 3 without restarting by doing telinit 3; telinit 5 will restart x |
