gdm is the GNOME Display Manager, much like xdm (X), kdm (KDE), and
wdm (Wings). gpm is the console mouse driver.

Delete /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm, which is a symlink telling the init scripts
"start gdm as the last thing in runlevel 2". Or, if you just want to
stop it for this session and have it start again at the next boot, run
'/etc/init.d/gdm stop'.
