I Installed Gentus/Redhat and picked the option to have x started each time the maching starts, how do I make it stop that so I can run right from the command line. Thanks for the help.

That's your first post. Cool! :cool:

If you want to access the command line while you're still in GNOME you can use CTRL + ALT + F2 (or F3, F4, F5, F6). This will switch you to the CLI (command line interface). Keep in mind that X (GNOME) is still running. To get back to GNOME use CTRL + ALT + F7.

As far as starting the CLI on boot, you have to switch runlevels I beleive but I'm too lazy to look right now so I'll let someone else tell you. :D

edit /etc/inittab and change the default runlevel from 5 to 3.
