Another way to accomplish this, assuming that X is started via gdm at
least (may also work for some of kdm, xdm, slim, I don't know) is to
edit the kernel parameters at boot and add "text" as a parameter. This
will prevent gdm from starting.
If you need to start X after booting with that option yo
# apt-get install rcconf
and then just uncheck your X window manager from the rcconf list.
You can still start it any time with
# /etc/init.d/example start
but to stop it you need to do
# cd /tmp; nohup /etc/init.d/example stop
at least with xdm. Or else it hangs up before it can stop itself.

Will definitely not work in the Debian default configuration, as
runlevels 2 to 5 are identical. I prefer the sy

You could always boot into single user mode (add "single" or "s" to
the kernel boot options)

If you're just doing this temporarily, put a line "exit" up near the top
of the /etc/init.d/?dm startup file. Then if you want X, type "startx".

So how can I disable gdm so it doesn't start automatically?

It's in the Debian Reference.
8.1.4 "Let me disable X on boot!"

Sid is mentioned here, but it works for squeeze and lenny as well.

Hi folks, I have a Debian lenny-stable install that I need a little
memory refresher with.
I need to boot and go straight to a terminal, and not start X on
bootup. I know there was a
way of doing so, but I forgot (I'm a little rusty and need to not be rusty).
Can someone tell me how to just boot
