[TriLUG] The "right" way to disable graphical boot

[Brian Henning]

Howdy Folks,

Morris Walton's message reminded me that I've been meaning to ask this for a 
while now.

I dislike FC's fancy graphical boot process.  It strikes me as pandering 
toward the computer-illiterate by hiding information, and wasteful from a 
resource standpoint.  So I want to turn it off.

At home, I hacked rc.sysinit and commented out the lines responsible for 
launching the graphical boot, but that doesn't seem like the "right" way to 
disable it.  I see that there's a condition for starting graphical boot, 
"$GRAPHICAL" = "yes".  How is that var set?  My guess would be a kernel 
parameter, perhaps that I could set in grub.conf.  Am I right?  I've never 
messed with kernel params before, so I'm sort of in the dark on how to make 
this happen.

Thanks as always,
~Brian
