One of the coolest things about grml is the runlevel.conf file -
if you go to /etc/runlevel.conf
and where it says something like
21 - 2,3,4,5 /etc/init.d/gdm
just change that to
21(or whatever the number is) - - /etc/init.d/gdm
Then you will have to log in as root, and issue the command "gdm" or startx to get into x.
As a matter of practical advice, I tend to do all system work outside of x, as it is normally faster.
Now, if you only want to do this once, and continue to boot into x automatically, then let the machine boot, ctl-alt-F2 into a console, login as root, issue "killall grm" and you will have a console, to regain x, just issue "gdm".
Best,
Martin

Hello,
After installed gnome-desktop-environment, my computer booted direct into gui. How can I still boot at text mode? Thank you!
