Yes - we got this message already. No need to send it twice -
mail takes time to get around the list.
To go to a text login, try Ctrl-Alt-F1.
To stop the graphical login altogether, try removing the software
that's starting it:
# apt-get remove gmd xdm kdm
Also change your default runlevel back to 2 unless you have a
good reason for leaving it at 3.
