nawwwww.... Not a text login. well... sort of. LM7.0/7.1 had a graphical
login box simlar to the WinNT4 login box. No icons (it does have a logo to
the side of the box) representing users. That's what I want.
I guess the question should have been reworded to "How do you get rid of
the goofy penguins at the LM login box?"

You mean get rid of the GUI in favor of a good ol text login?
To do that, edit the /etc/inittab file. Change the value in the line
"initdefault" from 5 to 3. Next reboot, it'll stop doing that. OR, to
make it change without a reboot, as root, type "init 3" and it'll drop
out of the X login.
And don't forget: to get back into X from a runlevel of 3, type 'startx'
