如何进入文本模式

(1).在安装的时候,配置X的的最后一步,可以选择起动的时候是是进入文本模式还是图形模式
(2).其实就是第一种的原理,那时候选择就是修改最后一行 /etc/inittab文件如下所示:
#
# inittab       This file describes how the INIT process should set up
#               the system in a certain run-level.
#
# Author:       Miquel van Smoorenburg,
#               Modified for RHS Linux by Marc Ewing and Donnie Barnes
#
                                                                               
# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
#   0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#   1 - Single user mode
#   2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
#   3 - Full multiuser mode
#   4 - unused
#   5 - X11
#   6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#
id:5:initdefault:
                                                                               
# System initialization.
si::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
                                                                               
l0:0:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 0
l0:0:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 0
l1:1:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 1
l2:2:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 2
l3:3:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 3
l4:4:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 4
l5:5:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 5
l6:6:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 6
                                                                               
# Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETE
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now
                                                                               
# When our UPS tells us power has failed, assume we have a few minutes
# of power left.  Schedule a shutdown for 2 minutes from now.
# This does, of course, assume you have powerd installed and your
# UPS connected and working correctly.
pf::powerfail:/sbin/shutdown -f -h +2 "Power Failure; System Shutting Down"
                                                                               
# If power was restored before the shutdown kicked in, cancel it.
pr:12345:powerokwait:/sbin/shutdown -c "Power Restored; Shutdown Cancelled"
                                                                               
                                                                               
# Run gettys in standard runlevels
                                                                              
# Run gettys in standard runlevels
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3
4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4
5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5
6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6
                                                                               
# Run xdm in runlevel 5
x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon

把上面那行的5该成3就可以了
0：停机(不要设置为启动默认级别)
1：单用户模式
2：多用户，无NFS(如果您没有配置网络，该级别与3一样)
3：完全多用户模式
4：不使用
5：X11图形模式
6：重启(不要设置为启动默认级别)

(3).如果已经起动了x-window那就按Ctrl+Alt+F1（F2、F3、F4、F5、F6均可以）进入字符状态，按Ctrl+Alt+F7回到X-Window.
(4).如果是在vmware下,那有一点不同只要Alt+F1（F2、F3、F4、F5、F6均可以）进入字符状态，按Alt+F7回到X-Window.
