I installed RH Linux AS3, and wanted to know how to stop the GUI from loading.
 
modify your init level to 3 instead of he default 5 in your /etc/inittab file.

Ah...I did that actually after I had sent this message. Now that its working, how do i change the default colors in text mode? Blue for directories is an eye-sore..

 
it should be in /etc/bashrc or something like that, it's not very friendly anyway, lots of ASCII combinations.

Cheers.

Perhaps an entry like that in .bashrc is enogh:
Code:
# enable color support of ls and also add handy aliases
if [ "$TERM" != "dumb" ]; then
    eval "`dircolors -b`"
    alias ls='ls --color=auto'
fi

I think the color schemes are under /etc/DIR_COLORS.
