Stop the gui sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop To prevent it starting on next boot sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove To put it back sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults Or for an easier way to manage what programs will run at boot sudo apt-get install rcconf When you need the gui startx man update-rc.d -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
