[PLUG] Newbie -red hat 9 - how do I turn off gnome?


I' m running Red Hat 9 on an old P200 w/64mb RAM and I would like to
turn off gnome & X. It's fine with me if I run the box in 100% pure text

console mode, using virtual terminals and so forth. But, friends, I
think you will admit, they hid it good this time. Tried the Red Hat 7 (I
had a book)
instructions for stopping gnome, no dice. Sent a kill signal to the  X
server and it just started up again. Gnome help can't seem to
conceptualize why someone would want to turn it off, tried logout,
restarting in failsafe mode, unsucessful. Needless to say, box swaps to
disk like a  maniac.

Do I have to do some kernel tweaking on this one? Thanks in advance.
