===========================
Hi Joel,
You might change your /etc/inittab
Look for the line:
id:5:initdefault
and change the 5 to a 3
You will then always boot into a non-gui environment, and will have to type
startx to get into the gui.
If you don't want to go that route, you can just try hitting ctrl+alt+F2 to
get to a terminal mode [ctrl+alt+F7 should get you back to your X
environment].
HTH,
Mike
