Step-by-step please, I'm a beginner! If you don't want to boot into a graphical login, the best thing to do is probably not to start xdm at all :-) Most often, xdm is started by rc scripts at boot time. See if your /etc/rcX.d (0<X<6) directories contain links like SXxdm and delete them (1<X<100), but don't erase links like KXxdm(1<X<100).

Appreciated are open-source formats like .txt, .rtf or .tex. Dvi or ps files are welcome.
