Got it working now! Thanks to all who responded with ideas. I did a
update-rc.d -f xdm remove and rebooted, but found it loading a GUI-based login screen. So I looked in my /etc/rc?.d directories, and noticed I had the other window managers gdm and kdm still in there. So I did a update-rc.d -f gdm remove update-rc.d -f kdm remove and I rebooted; it booted and opened to a console command-based login. Many thanks!! this has been bugging me for weeks! Running an older laptop means that I like working in the command-line as much as possible, to move around quickly, and make the best use of my limited cpu speed (177 Mhz) and ram size (80 MB).
