How to disable X-Win?

This is a newbie question but I am interested how can I disable automatic running of my KDE X-Win on FC8? I want to be able to log to plain shell and start x-win manually.

Thanks, means much to me, appreciate it!

Hello:
Edit your /etc/inittab
and change
id:5:initdefault:
to
id:3:initdefault:

Save, exit and reboot

And FYI the 3 and 5 r run levels. Run level 3 is a fully functional mode w/o X. Run level 5 has all of level 3 plus the X Windows. There is also a run level 0. When the system comes into this run level, it simply halts.

You can send your system into any run level by issuing the init command.

# 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:
