To fire up to multi-user mode and not start X you can either type "Linux 3"
at your lilo prompt or edit /etc/inittab and change the line
id:5:initdefault
to
id:3:initdefault
The run levels are:
1: Single user mode
2: Multiuser, but without NFS
3: Multiuser
4: Unused
5: Start X11 and get your graphic stuff - this is the usual setting
6: reboot.

Subject: [newbie] Text Startup / How-to
Does anyone know how to by-pass the grapfical startup as well an the
graphical login. I tried to upgrade my s3 savage binary this is a
very
confusing thing. The probe site tells you to try s3 first for there
driver. I download the s3 driver and when I open the tgz file in
kde
(or any desktop actually) all the files in the archive look corrupt.
They all have weird chars ect. Download it and look
(https://ranger.s3graphics.com/290-298drv/Savage_4.1.0_binary.tgz).
But
if I unpack it at a console it creates one binary file. I then copy
it
over top of the old file and now x won't start. I don't want to
reload.
Is there a way to fix this? What is the correct procedure for
updating
this driver? Thanks
