RE: [newbie] boot to console
I'm not sure which file gets changed but Xconfigurator will allow you to change it as will linuxconf or webmin. It's one of the files in /etc/rc.d and you need to change the runlevel.

Re: [newbie] boot to console
I temporary solution is when LILO comes up, type in "linux 3" w/o quotes. A more permenant solution would be to change the "id:5:initdefault:" line in /etc/inittab to "id:3:initdefault:" I just loaded 7.1 and chose for it to boot into GUI.

Re: [newbie] boot to console
Hi Goto to DrakConf in you Configuration - Menu and run the X-Server Configuration(Should be the first option. When it asks if you want to boot to GUI say no and reboot. It worked for me.

Re: [newbie] boot to console
Edit the file /etc/inittab. Find the line: id:5:initdefault: Change the 5 (which specifies starting in X) to 3 (which specifies console). The number is actually the runlevel which Linux boots into. Runlevel 3 is console, multi-user; runlevel 5 is X.
