[SOLVED] Booting to console

[carramba]

Hi,

I installed CentOS and then added gnome, xfce so that user can start gui's remotely, however now the server is booting to gnome login but this was not my intention.

How to I restore boot up to console? but keep gnome.

open up your inittab file (as root)

# vim /etc/inittab

look for

id:5:initdefault:

line and replace "5" with "3"


EDIT:
once you done with this, reboot and you will boot up on TUI,
if you want to start up your GUI,
use these commands as root

# init 5

or

# startx
