    If you're booting directly into a user desktop now, edit
/etc/sysconfig/autologin   and change the =yes  to  =no
and save changes.

   Then edit /etc/inittab  this line:    id:5:initdefault:  to read
id:3:initdefault:      and save changes    You'll now boot to a level 3 
(level 5 is X) terminal from which you'd type 'startx' to run X-Windows
