use a text editor (vi or pico)
and edit the /etc/inittab file.
Look for a line that reads:
'Default Run level' ( at the beginning)
a few lines down there is a line that is not commented out (#)
yours is probably :
'id:5:initdefault'
change the 5 to a 3 and save the changes.
oh yeah you must be root.
when you boot again you'll go right to a text login prompt
