I believe typing LINUX 3 at the command prompt does this. I leave
auto-X turned off for my home-pc, but I believe that's the ticket. I
know LINUX 1 gets you a bash shell without even running your normal
startup scripts or anything, but I think LINUX 3 is the fully-functional
text-mode (gotta love that penguin!).
