[SATLUG] Booting Kubuntu 6.10 into Command Line

[Eli Cantu]

Charles,  your suggestion is a good one.  It's almost exactly what I
suggested about 7 messages earlier in the thread. ;-)

Only thing though, I believe you need run level 1.

2 is default in ubuntu, and 3 is the same as 2, as is 4 and 5. So run
level 3 will result in X starting, just like 2.

Also I don't use the "linux 1" option, I just add the "1" to the end, but
I like taking off the "splash" and "quiet" options.

So if the grub line looks like this normally:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/hda3 ro quiet splash

I'd change it to:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/hda3 ro 1

reason for removing quiet and splash, is that we're booting to console
anyway, might as well see the regular linux bootup stuff, instead of
hiding it and running the ubuntu splash screen.
