Starting Xwindows

[boardman]

Hi;
I'm using Redhat 7.1, as soon as machine in booted it goes directly to XWindows logon screen that logs me into KDE or Gnome. How do i make it to Text mode and vice versa. I have Windows ME installed how can I access Windows partitons in Linux. Is there any built in utilities in linux. PLEASE HELP ME

A couple of NHF's on the subjects.

Booting into GUI (http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/x-windows/guiboot.html) Runlevel 3 for text and runlevel 5 for X.

Accessing another hd/partition (http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/misc/winhd.html).

/dev/hda# /mnt/winme vfat ro,user,defaults 0 0

Change hda# to the correct device number.

/mnt/winme must exist first (use whatever name you like). mkdir /mnt/name_you_decide

'ro' for read-only access
'rw' for read/write

If you have more than one HD your scheme is slightly different.

Primary Master - HDA
Primary Slave - HDB
Secondary Master - HDC
Secondary Slave - HDD

Partitions start with 1, not 0.

So, first partiton of first drive is hda1, second partition is hda2
