That works for a single time. For a more permanant fix edit the line in
/etc/inittab
from id:5:initdefault:
to id:3:initdefault:
or
run linuxconf
click the boot
click the mode tab
click "default boot mode" button
click "text mode & network"
click accept and quit then activate the changes when you exit linuxconf
(personally I think that it is easier to just edit the /etc/inittab file)
