Changin Graphical Login to command line login
 

Hi, I have Linux RedHat 9 running in a PIII machine.

When Installing RH9 I setup the login to be in Graphical Mode.

How can I change the loging to be in command line mode?

I went to the system options, and system tools but I couldn't find anything to change it.

I need to change it in order to make a Video Card driver install. I have a TNT 32mb, I download the drivers from nvidia.com . But when installing it says that I have to close all kind of X. So If I have Graphical Login I will always have X running.
Thats why I want to change the Graphical Login to Command Line.
After the driver is installed Then I will like to change it back to Graphical Mode.

So, I will also need to know how can I change how to change from Command Line mode to Graphical Mode.

Thanks a lot.

If you want to do a one of chang while the system is running:
init 3

Then to get back to graphical:
init 5

To change it at boot time - edit your bootlaoder config (you can do thi interactively just as it comes on the screen). just append " 3" (space 3 no quotes) to the line beginning with "kernel".

In your etc/inittab file there should be a line something like:
id:5:initdefault:

Change the 5 to 3 and the system will boot to the terminal
