Like when you boot single user mode by appending 'single'.

So to solve Jan's problem, create a new directory in /etc/runlevels 
called 'graphical'

rc-update add xdm graphical

rc-update del xdm default

Then simply add an entry to grub that appends graphical to the end of 
the kernel line.  Boot this new entry to get a graphical login, or the 
original to get command line only.
Sorry for replying to my own post, but a little reading has made be 
aware that this may not work as expected.. you may need to add all the 
services from 'default' to 'graphical' too, as I do not think booting 
'graphical' will also start the services in 'default'./

Well that's easy enough to fix - cp /etc/runlevels/default/* 
/etc/runlevels/graphical
Then you have to maintain 2 runlevels, no?/

Cron.
Well that makes little or no sense to me.. if you have 2 runlevels in
/etc/runlevels, one for X one for console... and you add a service to
your system, you would need to remember to add it to both runlevels, is
this correct?
