My first idea was to edit the init.d files to not start x, but can't do that due to the file being read-only. Basically I want the system to boot into text-only mode (installed not live cd). Ideas? Can I do a fresh install without putting in X?

edit /home/dsl/.bash_profile, removing the "startx" command. Make sure you use backup/restore if it's a frugal install, to keep .bash_profile persistent
