Ok, I have a question and pretty sure I know the answer (although I haven't been home yet to try it)....

I just installed Red Hat 7.0 (new installation as opposed to upgrade I previously did). By default it starts up in XDM (or GDM). I'd rather startup in text mode.

Now to fix this, I should, on boot type:

BOOT: linux 3

This will start linux at runlevel 3 (as opposed to 5 which would be GUI). Then edit my /etc/inittab and change the initdefault.

This is correct, right?

that's correct. It's that easy.
