If your system comes with linuxconf:  as root in an xterm type "linuxconf
&" . When it comes up go to Config->boot mode->Mode->default boot mode and
click on it.  Select the Text mode & Network button and Accept.  The next
time you boot it will be to a command line login prompt.  Login and type
"startx" to start Gnome.
