When I installed RedHat 7.1, I forgot to tell it to do a text login. Now, when it boots, after loading, it goes straight to the graphical login. How do I turn this off? I just want it to load into the shell.

Check your /etc/inittab file. There should be a line somewhere in the top of that file like this:
id:5:initdefault:
Change the number after 'id:' to your distros 'Full multiuser mode' (probably 3 in RedHat), and do a reboot or reinit.

Cheers :)
