I usually add the single line "exit 0" as the first non-comment line in 
"/etc/init.d/kdm", but there are several ways of doing it (such as 
renaming the file, renaming the rc script, etc). When you want to 
re-enable KDM, just remove or comment out that line and restart KDM with 
"/etc/init.d/kdm start".
