The preferred method for this is to set initdefault to 3.
Look in /etc/inittab for this line:

As root, you can change runlevel to 3

Whichever mode you choose to be your non-X mode (for the sake of this message,
call it M), just remove the symlink to S??xdm in /etc/rcM.d/. The '??' in the
symlink name represents two digits (I think it's 99

'dpkg --remove xdm' is the most straightforward way, if you're never
ever going to want xdm.

No there isn't. x-window-system is a meta-package that pulls in the

Howdy,
When installing Xwindows the default setup is to start X using
xdm. Obviously initialization was not placed in /etc/inittab, it was
placed in /etc/rc[2,3,4,5].d/S99xdm and /etc/rc[1,6/K01xdm. If I want
to start in text mode and move to X by startx, is it sufficient to
remove the scripts at
Actually, you should just uninstall the xdm package.
