That's kind of extreme! Before you do that try using Ctrl-Alt F1 (or any
F key from F1 thru F6) to access a regular console. If you want to
return to the XWindow use Ctrl-Alt-F7 . you can go back and forth as
needed. I find this technique very useful when installing new software,
as I can run several terminals including X with different users logged
in.
