but Google isn't helpful.
How do I reboot Linux into console mode? I want to install the nVidia drivers, but it doesn't allow it if you're running an X server. I tried adding the -console flag to a boot sequence in GRUB but that just makes a plaintext console at boot time instead of a graphical booter, but it still automatically logs in and starts the X server. Can anyone offer some help?
Specifics: VLOS 1.1, running a 2.6 kernel (I...think?) and gnome for my windowing system.
