[SOLVED] Disabling X on startup

I'm using Fedora Core 6 and everytime it boots it loads X-Server and prompts for a login. How do I disable the booting of X unless otherwise specified?
Regards,

Remove the init script for xdm. It'll either be in /etc/rc.d or /etc/init.d depending upon where fedora keeps init scripts.

There isn't that file in any of the folders. There's lots of files but nothing that looks like X. X isn't there, nor startx or X11.

I'm not familiar with fedora but if there is a file
/etc/inittab open it in a text editor and if there's a line like
ab:5:initdefault change it to
ab:3:initdefault and restart the system, (
ab can be anything, leave it as-is).

Feedback on it's way.
I haven't had chance to alter any settings to try your suggestions.
