View Full Version : RH 7.3: Switching from KDE to Text Only Bootup

I just finished building a server for colocation and I originally used KDE so that I could view the site through localhost and check things out like php and mysql. Now that everything is working I'd like to switch back to text only just in case KDE hogs up some resources, etc. If anyone happens to know how to do this, that would be great.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi,

In your inittab file under your /etc directory there is a line toward the top that should read something like this:

id:5:initdefault:

Just change the 5 to a 3, save it and reboot. You'll come up with a text prompt.
