You mean get rid of the GUI in favor of a good ol text login?

To do that, edit the /etc/inittab file. Change the value in the line
"initdefault" from 5 to 3. Next reboot, it'll stop doing that. OR, to
make it change without a reboot, as root, type "init 3" and it'll drop
out of the X login.

And don't forget: to get back into X from a runlevel of 3, type 'startx'
