How can I start debian without GUI only console
I am in need to install woftware withput starting X.org

I am not quite sure what you need. The default Debian installation process doesn't require X.org; just select install instead of graphical install. This launches the twxt-based installer.
If you don't have a bitmapped comsole, search the internet for debian install serial console. There are many results. If you have a running Debian system without graphics and want to install software on it, study apt. To start an existing Debian system without graphics, it should be sufficient to switch your computer on. |

sudo aptitude update then Follow the yellow brick road for installing woftware. https://wiki.debian.org/Aptitude If not having X at all. No key stokes needed to drop out of X. Just start at update command and go from there. Internet connection needed for libs for woftware. |

Several ways.
$ sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target or # echo "false" > /etc/X11/default-display-manager or Uninstall display managers, disable the display manager in systemd, and other ways. I mostly use the first one. BITD init would restart X, so you'd have to Cntrl+Atl+Backspace to exit X several times before it took and kept for that session. These days you can disable the Cntrl+Alt+Backspace from doing anything useful. So it can be a bit hit and miss. The set-default with systemctl works on most recent versions of debian and other distros that use systemd. |
