When you boot up and get the grub prompt to boot the system, type
"e". This
will bring up a screen with all of the grub lines in it. Position (arrow
keys) to the "kernel" line and type "e". You will now be presented
with the
"kernel" line which you can edit. Add "nogui 3" (I usually place
this
between "ro" and "root=". Be sure to leave a space between
parameters. This
are the command line parameters which are passed to /sbin/init and will bring
the system up in runlevel 3. Not that firstboot will still run in gui mode
by starting X.
i'm confused -- what's the distinction between adding "3" and
"nogui"?
run level 3 *means* not to start X already. is "nogui" related to
how firstboot runs?
