Joel,

You can open a terminal window, type init 3.  This will shudown X and take
you to a text logon.

or

On the logon screen there is a button that says shutdown.  When you click on
that, it should give you 4 options.  One is Console mode.  Select that and
click OK. 

IMO the second way is the better way to do it.

That should do it.

I currently have linux booting directly into the x-windows logon screen  
instead of the standard linux login screen ie;

Kernel 2.2.15-4mdk on an i686
login: 

How do I exit x-windows completely and drop me to my shell prompt?
As of now my only option is to 'logoff' which will simply drop me back to
the x-windows logon screen.


Thanks for your help in advance,

Joel
