Oh, in that case, take a look at your /etc/inittab file (assuming
this isn't a debian system).  Look for a line like:

id:5:initdefault:

On redhat or mandrake, the 5 stands for "boot into X".  If it's
a 3 instead, it boots into text.  I think the SuSE numbers are
different. My mandrake box has a BIG comment above that that
describes what the numbers are, so if this is SuSE I'd suggest
looking for something like that.

 of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to 
 endure.  --  Justice Thurgood Marshall, 1989
