It automatically boots to KDE wit me as the user. 
THis is OK and what I want it to do.  I know how to
change the /etc/inittab file to make it automatically
boot to the colsole.  I wanted to know how to get back
to a pure console after having run KDE.

SO other than setting my runlevel to 3 there is no way
to boot back to a 'pure' console (by wich I mean no
xwindows running in the background) after running KDE?

I guess the COntrol-Alt-Fkey thing will work fine.  I
generally just open a terminal anyway.  This is more
for curiosity.  I was wondering if Quake 3 might run
better if xwindows was not running, but for all I know
it might require xwindows.

Thanks for the assistance.
