init 3 does nothing



I'm running debian 2.0, and thinking about upgrading to 2.1.

I want to shut down X, so that I can do some upgrading of  X-related
stuff, without sawing off the branch I'm standing on, so to speak.

I was advised to try 'init 3', but this does nothing. I also tried 'init
0' to check if 'init' does anything at all, and this shuts the system
down, as expected.

Any ideas? Can I start up Linux and prevent X from starting up, through
some magical invocation a la <Alt> <F5> (Windoze)?
