I would like to change the default boot runlevel, so that the X server

until
the X server is started (If I remember correctly, this can be accomplished
by
changing the default runlevel in /etc/inittab to "3").

What worries me is whether I will be able to log on to Ubuntu at all if I
do
this.  I get the impression that Gnome of KDE must be running in order to
be
able to log on at all.

Is it possible to change the runlevel so that ubuntu boots without
automatically starting X, and, if it is, how should I go about to make
these
changes without getting into trouble?
