I'm not positive if perhaps you're referring to gdm. In other words, when you
boot up the system into runlevel 5 (with XFree86) it tries to bring up gdm for
a visual login. That is only if the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file contains the
word GNOME (see the /etc/X11/prefdm script for more information on this).
If that's what you're referring to, then reboot the system again. When you see
the LILO prompt, enter "linux 3" (without the quotes, of course). This will
boot the system into runlevel 3, which is multiuser mode without X support.
Then, edit the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file I was referring to above and remove
the word "GNOME" from it. Instead, you can enter "KDE" or "AnotherLevel"
(again without quotes). The first one will bring up kdm, while the second one
will bring up xdm in order to allow for a "visual login" when you reboot the
system again.
Please, let me know if this is what you are referring to.

A master was explaining the nature of the Tao to one of his novices, "The
Tao is embodied in all software -- regardless of how insignificant," said
the master.
-- "Is the Tao in a hand-held calculator?" asked the novice.
-- "It is," came the reply.
-- "Is the Tao in a video game?" continued the novice.
-- "It is even in a video game," said the master.
-- "And is the Tao in the DOS for a personal computer?"
The master coughed and shifted his position slightly. "The lesson is over
for today," he said.
