Since you're running SuSE, do this as root cd /etc edit the file rc.config Find the line whichr eads CHECK_INITTAB="yes" Change it to read CHECK_INITTAB="no" Save the file. Then edit the file inittab - also in the /etc directory find the line which reads id:5:initdefault: Change this to read id:3:initdefault Save the file. Then type SuSEconfig as root, and let it do its thing. Viola. Shutdown, reboot, and you should come up in console mode instead of X.
