I tried ctlaltbckspace, which just got me back to the login
screen (don't want that, want just non-xwindows, linux prompt)
So, then I logged in as root and from a shell, did
/sbin/shutdown, which shutdown (actually, froze the xwindows
display, so I did hardware reset, at boot though it automatically
went right back into xwindows. How do I stop it from doing
this?
Thanks
