I find the easiest way of doing this, and it works across distributions
(because they have different ideas of what runlevels should do), is to pass
the 'single' parameter to the kernel when booting.
LILO: linux single
^ use the label of your kernel, but it's often 'linux'
Then you'll boot into single user mode, which makes life easy, without
interruptions from pesky users and such.
To stop gdm loading in Red Hat:
Comment out the gdm line in /etc/inittab
To stop gdm loading in Debian:
Remove gdm, or run update-rc.d -f gdm remove
(Debian runs gdm as a normal service, Red Hat runs it as an init task in
runlevel 3 and above.)
