If you mean the file to choose between graphic or console, it is
/etc/inittab.

Look for the line:
id:5:initdefault:
and change it to:
id:3:initdefault:

That will boot your PC to console instead of graphic.

Hi Bill,
   I believe the file you would be looking for is /etc/inittab, This is the 
file that specifies if you boot to the command prompt or a graphical login. 
The line your looking for is:
   id:X:initdefault:
where X is the runlevel, 5 would be the graphical login so it should read 
id:5:initdefault:
Well, I hope that helps.
