Booting Into Console instead of Xfree

[Matt41]

I installed redhat 7 and everything worked except the mouse. So I ran mouseconfig and now it won't boot into xfree(I picked graphical login). So If I can skip it trying to boot into xfree I could fix it.

Does anyone know how to do this?

This is a simple fix just open up your /etc/inittab file and change this line:
id:5:initdefault:
to
id:3:initdefault:

Now rebooot and the CLI will boot up instead of X http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

That is a "permament" fix. If you just want to do it once or twice, then at teh lilo prompt type "linux 3" and press enter.
