during the installation of whiteboxlinux, I chose to login and start in graphical mode. I would like to change that to text mode now. Is there a way to make that change?
in /etc/inittab, you can change your default runlevel to one without a gui login. This will vary from distribution to distribution, but on Debian, it is 2. (Gentoo handles this very differently).
There will probably be explanatory text in the /etc/inittab file telling what all the different runlevels do, and cautioning not to set the runlevel to the extreme ones (in MandrakeLinux there are seven runlevels, and runlevel 3 is the one for text login).
