Simplest way might be to boot into runlevel 2 or 3 [ boot: knoppix 2 ], login, then ' startx ' from there.

I would like to be able to disable that graphical login manager, the one with the
username and password fields, and the options for shutdown, restart etc.
But I need gdm to still be able to run, as MythTV uses it. I've posted on the KnoppMyth
forum, but no one seems to have answers to my question.
I'm a bit new to Linux, so I don't understand in which module the graphical
login lies. Basically, I just want to be able to boot to X, but without the graphical
login, or if I have to, I'll boot to a prompt-just without that graphical login thingy.
Thanks for any input.

Anyway I think you need to edit the '/etc/inittab' file and replace the 'default runlevel' from 5(graphic) to 3(command line).
Ooh, sorry about that-I didn't know. Anyways, I did try your suggestion, but the graphical login manager
still runs. Should I try runlevel 1? Will that make any diff?

Be sure to identify the match 'id:5:initdefault:' and replace the 5 inside it with 3, and also you must to make it as 'root' to have real writing permissions.
Yes, I did that. It didn't change anything.
Any other suggestions?
