How to disable graphical boot on Linux
On Fedora, edit “/etc/sysconfig/init” and set:
GRAPHICAL=no
Also edit “/boot/grub/grub.conf” and remove the “rhgb” option on kernel options line (“rhgb” standing for “Red Hat Graphical Boot”).
If you want to disable X11 automatic startup, change “/etc/inittab” default run level:
id:5:initdefault:
to:
id:3:initdefault:
You will then have to start X11 manually if you want to use X11.
