One of the last scripts in /etc/rc2.d will be something like S99gdm. You can:
* apt-get remove gdm * add "exit 0" as the first executable line of S99gdm * rename S99gdm to something like NoS99gmd * delete S99gmd (it's a symlink to /etc/init.d/gdm) or * rename/delete the actual script (/etc/init.d/gdm)Alternatively, once in gdm, you can Ctrl-Alt-F1 to the first virtual console, and as root kill the gdm process (either by killing the appropriate process ID, or by running "/etc/init.d/gdm stop"), which of course won't affect things the next boot.
