i know there has to be a way to get linux to not automatically start to an X
login because it kinda wants to know if that's what you want to do... anyhow
for the time being one of my computers is misbehaving, all i really want to
use it for right now is a little word processing which could be saved to
floppy and transfered to the other computer. i'm thinking i could just use
emacs for that... nothing special for me, essentially a "notepad or
simpletext" is all i want... anyhow i was wondering how i would get linux to
stop at a CLI instead of progressing on to the GUI... in the old school DOS
6.2 w/win3.1 i new how... simple little edit in the autoexec.bat file... but
alas i am too unsure of myself in right this moment to tinker with this and
that file when i do not know the expected outcome... granted it can be fun
on other people's computers, but on mine i'm not really feeling like giving
me this type of stuff to do (subsequent hours of troubleshooting, etc)...

thanks
